One of your questions asked about using the same powder charge for two different bullets of the same weight. PA joe's answer is correct, but here's why. Without getting overly technical (which is what manuals are for) different manufacturers make bullets to different specs. Different jacket materials, varying jacket thickness, different ogive, hollow point v spire point v ballistic tip.... Every one will create its own pressure curve unique to that bullet, so, while X grains of Hobogin 9000 MAY work fine for both a 55gr Varmagedon and a 55 gr Varmint grenade, it also MAY NOT be safe, especially if you're near maximum powder charge. Same thing holds true for changing any component, but especially bullets and primers. Work up new loading data for ever bullet weight/primer/powder you use for every gun you use. Enjoy the journey - the destination comes too soon.
