Hi all,
I'm just getting into reloading and would love some sage advice from anyone who cares to share. I've decided to use non-lead for all my hunting (deer, pig, possibly bear). I'm leaning strongly towards Hornady GMX in 150 or 165 grains.
My dilemma is I'd like to find a practice bullet that I can use the same load recipe for and have it be ballistically the same as the non-lead bullet. Would this just be a matter of matching ballistic coefficient, sectional density, and grain weight of the two bullets or is there more to it than that?
My goal is to be able to practice with the cheap bullet and not have to worry about re-sighting or remembering a different trajectory for the non-lead load.
Any bullet suggestions?
