(Remember, I'm pretty new to reloading and all I've done so far are very tolerant and soft .38 special "cowboy" loads so go easy on me folks! )
So I reloaded 20 rounds of .40 S&W using the Speer manual as a guide. Then I noticed I'd used Sierra bullets (180gr JHP #8460) not Speer.
Of course then I read the whole "WARNING: data good for Speer bullets only as others may have different dimension, cause compressed loads, blow up the earth, etc. etc."
So before I go undoing all my work how serious is this warning or is it just the manufacturers playing "cover the posterior"?
(The load is .40 S&W, 6.2gr Unique, CCI 500 primer, 180gr Sierra JHP #8460 bullets)
Thanks for the help folks.
