I guess I am a little confused with powders and their charges for certain bullets. Here is my dilemma. I am using H335 for 62 grain M855 ammo. The Hodgdon site only gives one bullet type and that is SFT SCIR which is swift scirocco. What is that and what is it similar to? If i get my Speer manual and look up H335 it gives me a 62grain fmj boat tail which is what I have from Rocky Mountain Reloaders and the charges are about 4 grains higher for the FMJ Boat tail. Now is Speer giving me data for speer bullets or a boat tail is a boat tail which is what I believe? Then if that is the case then why does Hodgdon's webpage only show the swift sciricco and not the boat tail? This maybe a easy answer for most but i am fairly new and this is a new round for me. My philosophy is simply " when it comes to firearms there is no dumb questions". Thanks
