I've been reloading for decades, just haven't started yet for my nearly new M1A Walnut Scout Squad.
The thought came to me the other day, why can't I just make hunting loads from my stocks of Winchester 7.62 white box (Q3130)?
My idea is to carefully pull the 147 grain fmj bullets with my collet puller and press in 150 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips or Accubond bullets leaving everything else unchanged. I could recrimp with my Lee factory crimp die. The difference in bullet weight is only 3 grains or about 2%.
Any problems with this idea?
