Drawing Up Extra Due to Dead Space?

Hey guys. This may seem like a stupid question, but do I have to draw past my dose (for ex. 0.3 —> 0.325 to prevent medication loss?

I’ve been on testosterone for about 4 weeks (5th dose soon) and every time, despite drawing up to exactly my dose, when I push on the plunger to expel the air out of the syringe until a small drop of the test appears at the top, the top of the rubber stopper goes past my dose. Sometimes all the way up to (though usually less dramatically big of a difference) 07 less ml than my dose.

Is this normal or should I be drawing more to account for dead space?

Suitable Sharps Container?

Would this relatively thick plastic jar of organic sauerkraut be ok as a sharps container? If not, then is it if I recap the needles?
