Thanks for all the great responses, especially LiveLife for your very detailed post. I am using new Starline brass. I have weighed all the bullets and am weighing each charge. I have loaded a lot of 45 ACP for bullseye so I am following the same methodology for match ammo that I have used in the...
I have a SIG P210 target that I want to develop an accuracy load for bullseye. My gun prefers 115 gr factory ammo. I have several powders available so I am looking for recommendations on which powder to start testing with. I am an experienced reloader and all loads will be verified with current...
For the FMJ the OAL is the same. 1.100" For the JHP the 5th edition list 1.050" in the 6th the list 1.500" which is clearly a misprint because SAAMI max AOL 1.169 and the bullet and the case combined are shorter than 1.5"

That sounds like no powder. I know you said you visually inspected each case before loading. Was there unspent powder left behind after the strange sounding shots?
You can mix brands of primers of the same type ( cci small rifle for federal small rifle). You can change bullet manufactures as long it is the same type and weight. Don't interchange lead data for jacketed data. And you can interchange brass. All with the caveat that you start low and work up...
I do, on mil brass it helps make sure that I did not miss a crimp. Not sure that it helps accuracy but some of my brass is quite old and they look pretty nasty.
As others have said, she will shoot much if at all in boot camp. If she wants to get ahead get a Blue Jackets manual and memorize the general orders, the chain of command from the president down, Ranks and Rates. On the other hand, if you want to create some more memories by taking her shooting...
Check the powder manufacturer web sites. Here is what I got a Hodgden. But not sure I got all the choices correct for your load.
