Load data question

[Johnnyjr]

Suppose I had some 200 grain bullets and the only data was for like 225 gr or let's say 195 grain. Which data should I use with the 200 grain bullets. I hope you understand my question. Thanks..

Data for 195 gr. will work if you stay below the Max load. What caliber,type of bullet and powder are you using? Most times with cast bullets the actual weight can be plus or minus 5 grs from advertised.

Forty has you on the right track. Stay with the same type of bullet (lead or jacketed) in the data table and use the loads from a reputable manual/data table.
Good luck.

No call or powder. Just a question is all.

most bullet makers publish load data specifically for their bullets .... 99.99999+% of the time I load Nosler bullets so I use their data .... I'd suggest that before going elsewhere you try to find data from the manufacture of your bullets
