With so many of the bullet makers going to monolithic bullets and away from cup and core you almost have to have a manual that covers the bullet you are using. 30 years ago you could just about use any bullet in the same weight and stay in safe pressure ranges. Barnes came out with their solid copper and then their bronze bullets and manufacturers started using thicker jackets for controlled expansion and now a lot of manufacturers are going to monolithic bullets in handgun as well as rifle bullets. You really need to have a manual for the specific bullet you are going to use. Even the Very Low Drag bullets have to be seated differently because they have such a long nose. You have to check the distance to your lands to make sure you can use them in your gun.
I can remember when you only needed to know if you were loading lead or jacketed bullets, well those days are gone and have been for a while. Keep up with the latest information and stay safe.
