Go up one cavity at a time, and weigh the powder charge from each cavity. Then choose the cavity according to the scale weight you desire. Now that you have a scale, you have no more need to depend on Lee's VCD figures and charts.

As for pulling vs shooting, it would depend on your own level of tolerance. The 2.5 gr of 700-X WOULD fire, but I would susopect that they would NOT cycle the action on the Sig. The real question then is: "What is your tolerance for a magazine-fed single-shot pistol?"

If you only have a half-dozen, shoot em. If you have a gang of them, I'd pull them and reload to more conventional levels. No point in wasting a couple pounds of bullets.
