The reloading data tables usually mention the specific bullet style used with the various powder charges....when I try one particular load for a given bullet weight where they mention, for example, a Hornady 180 gr. round nose, can I use instead another type of bullet, let's say a Sierra Matchking 180 gr.??
I know I may have accuracy issues, but from a pressure safety standpoint, can the bullet type be different (the bearing surface could be different) within that specific weight for a given load??
For some cartridges where I can use lead (hard cast or not) bullets, can I switch, let's say, for a particular load, a lead bullet for a jacketed one without issues??
Thanks!
