The best approach is to find load data on the particular bullets you want to use. If you can't, then the following may work for you: If the seating depth is the same, you'll be ok. Seating depth is the amount of bullet that's in the case . Folks get confused by this. The real concern here is if you load to the same OAL, your seating depth may be greater due to the bullet profile. What you need to do is factor in the differences between the bullet lengths to achieve the same seating depth ( how much bullet is in the case). Once you've done this AND providing the revised OAL doesn't exceed the max for your gun, ( for feeding purposes), you're good to go. This is what I do for using same wieght bullets of different profiles in my 45ACP. I don't know if this would work for rifle ammo as I'm not familiar with that.
