Comparing plated rounds manufacturers
Posted: Tue Dec 20, 2016 12:05 pm
Fellow Reloaders,
So, I am almost out of my X-Treme 230-gr CPRN bullets for .45 ACP. I have a BUNCH of Rainer 230-gr slugs laying around, though.
The question is, "Can I use load data that I generated with X-Treme copper plated bullets for other manufacturer's copper plated bullets?"
I know X-Treme has thicker copper plating than most of the other brands. Is Rainier comparable? Both seem to indicate that you can use jacketed data.
How about Berry's?
Or should I, just to be safe, make up the original load ladder with that cartridge/primer/powder/bullet combo again and re-chrono everything?
