[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1591445, member: 94491"] Yes, different load data for every bullet. All copper bullets often have a longer bearing surface and much more engraving forces that will often increase pressures thus reducing max load and speed-- this is 1 reason that driving bands are added, to reduce the pressures and copper fouling. But not all monolithic bullets are created equal, while both barnes copper, nosler e-tip. And hornady guilding metal gmx bullets have shown higher pressures in my rifles, I have been able to load up to max load data for like weight lead core bullets for hammer hunter bullets and I get faster speeds than like weight lead core bullets Start low and work up, check both powder and bullet load data [/QUOTE]
