when referring to a reloading manuals listing of powders for a specific bullet, does that specific brand of bullet absolutely need to be used or can one substitute a similar bullet, of the same weight in grains, and of the same type, but by a different manufacturer, or does it have to be used verbatim.
so if the manual lists the bullet as a Sierra HPBT #2200 168 gr. bullet, that is absolutely the only bullet to be used with the listed powder loads, no substitutions whatsoever!!
matching available bullets and available powders right now is quite the puzzle.
(I'm referencing Lymans 49th edition, the only one I have available to me at the time, I have Speers 14th somewhere in storage)
