[QUOTE="wildcat455, post: 1596935, member: 102653"] I had similar problems a long time ago, I don't even remember what manufacturer I was mixing. I vaguely remember some velocity and pressure issues. Although I do not have the answer for you I can tell you what my solution was. I stopped shooting mixed bullets/powders during load development, and shooting sessions. When I switch powders or bullets, I clean the gun down to bare metal for a bullet switch, and powder residue for powder switch. (as long as the same bullet is used.) The only exception to this for me is bullets of the same type from the same manufacturer. I.E. Hornady ELDX and ELDM. I'll also shoot bullets with the same manufacturers designation, but different weights, I.E. Berger Hybrid Target 200, 215, 230 or in the Elite Hunter series 250, 300. I won't mix say, Berger Hunting with Berger Hybrid Target, or Sierra Game Kings with Sierra Match Kings, just because I don't know if jacket material is the same. I have no empirical data to support what I do, but I did quit having those problems. So I stuck with it. Quite likely I'm doing more work than is necessary, but I've been doing it this way for so long I don't really even notice truthfully. Good luck and let us know how you make out! [/QUOTE]
