[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 164447, member: 5060"] One thing to be careful of when just assuming that the data developed from one bullet being transferred to another even if the total weight is the same is safe it may not be. With the difference in for example, the contact area between the base of the contact area and the ogive, or the proximity to the rifling, or the type of bullet copper or the conventional lead core can cause pressure variances which may or may not be safe. Be very prudent when doing this-----pressure will sneak up on you very quickly as I learned this many years ago before I knew better or had the tools to determine what variables needed to be accounted for when doing this.
