Hello I have a recipe that calls for a 230 gr RCBS molded RNFP bullet and my question is can I use any brand of bullet besides RCBS bullets as long as it is a 230 gr lead bullet like the recipe calls for? I know that RCBS and Lee does not make bullets, so this question is not about there molds but just other bullets in general that are already made like Oregon Trail Bullets that are in similar likeness. The recipe I found is here: http://www.alliantpowder.com/reload...owderlist.aspx&type=3&powderid=1&cartridge=15 However I have found a Lee bullet mold which is a 230 gr bullet and I would like to use it in the place of the RCBS because of the price difference of the mold, a savings of about $50. I think the question is really about the weight of the bullet rather then the shape of it but if that matters please advice about that too. Thanks in advance for the help. (Yep I'm just a Green Horn)
Lee 230 gr
RCBS 230 gr
Well I guess they are not just alike but they are both 230 grain in weight, and a 230 grain weighted bullet is what the recipe calls for. These will be shot out of a single action 6 shot pistol, revolver.
