I'm new to handloading. So far I'm loading 357 and 38 on my Lee 50th kit.
I've been searching for loads using Herco and cast bullets for the 357.
Is it ok to substitute a bullet of the same weight and type for another with the same powder charge and primer?
Example: Are 158gr cast swc, 158gr cast lead rn, 158gr cast lead fp, and 158gr copper washed (not jacketed) lead hp interchangeable in the printed formulas if I stay 10% or so under the maximum load?
If not, how does the bullet profile affect the powder charge?
