I'm early in the reloading process and learning curve for my 6mm remington (Ruger m77) and right now I only own the Speer manual #14.
Their 6mm rem loads for a particular weight bullet will show one unique bullet for that weight. (with the exception of the top end 100 or 105gr where they show both a flat base and boat tail w/ the same charge).
My particular question is for the 75gr Hornady v-max. The Speer manual info for a 75gr bullet indicates a 75gr speer w/ a flat base. Can I use the same charge data (working up from the minimum, of course) they give for a flat base bullet to load my v-max with boat tail?
In general, is the charge data for any flat base bullet applicable to a boat tail in the same weight?...
(btw, anyone out there with a Hornady manual want to swap me the 6mm rem info from yours for anything you might want from my Speer manual?...)
Thanks so much.
