I'm getting ready to switch the bullet and primer brands I've been using to reload 223REM. The cases and powder will remain the same. Here's what I have:
Cases: LC98
Powder: H335
Old bullets: 52gr HPBT Speer Match
Old primers: WSR (Winchester Small Rifle)
New bullets: 52gr HPBT Sierra Matchking
New primers: CCI 400 (Small Rifle)
Although the brands have changed, the specs on the replacements are very similar. Should I start from scratch or can I make any assumptions at all about optimal powder weight and COL for the old loads being similar to the new?
Thanks!
