[QUOTE="Russ Hatch, post: 340700, member: 12444"] The bullets are different. They offer different resistance to being engraved by the rifling because of different bearing surfaces and materials. When I change bullet brands I reduce the load 10% and work back up, or use the manual for that brand of bullet. Each rifle is different and the manual's loads are what the manufacturer has found to be safe with their bullet and that lot of powder. Confused enough now? Just follow the recommended loads and watch for pressure signs and you'll be ok. Russ [/QUOTE]
