I just went down and bought reloading supplies for the first time and I thought I was buying 115 gr jacketed bullets but they ended up being copper plated so my loading reference isn't valid anymore.
My loading reference said to use 5.1 to 5.5 gr of unique for the 115 gr Jacketed bullets but I ended up getting plated bullets so is it safe to follow the next heavier lead bullet reference for unique at 5.3 to 5.5 gr of powder for 125 gr lead bullets?
