Hello all, long time lurker, first time poster.
As the title says, is there really a difference between reloading for a jacketed A-frame bullet or a regular jacketed bullet? My Lyman manual (49th ed.) only has reloading information for jacketed A-frame bullets for the round I'm reloading, while my Lee manual only specifies jacketed.
I am trying to work up some reloads for my 338 Remington ultra-mag using 250gr HPBT match bullets using IMR 7828.
I would think that since all of the bullets in question are jacketed and of the same weight it should be somewhat applicable. Obviously I'll be starting low and working my way up either way, but the Lyman manual, if I remember right, has loads that start a few grains heavier than my Lee.
Would you think taking the average of these two sources would be the best route to take? Or just use one source and see how it shoots?
