So I just got my order of cast bullets from Oregon Trail, with load data, but all the data call for WSP primers and I already have CCI 500 primers. Now if it means blowing up my gun, and my face, I'll buy the WSP but if not can I just subsititue the CCI's?
To qualify this question, I have read several books and I know that primers work differently with different powders, but they also state that if you swap components to just start at the starting load grains and work back up. Also, I have load data for Lead bullets and jacketed bullets in the same bullet weight for cci primers and the unique powder that I have.
Finally - If I have a 158 grain cast bullet, can I just use 158 grain Lead round nose bullet load recipe? How about 158gr JSP recipe?
Thanks in advance - (sorry this is so long)
