I wanted to try a different weight bullet, I have been using the 180gr win jfp. I was looking at the 155gr Ranier fp. My problem is that inthe Lyman pistol and revolver book they only list data for 150gr jacketed not 155gr. The 150gr starting data is 4.9gr Bullseye with a max of 5.7gr. Next is data for the 170gr jacketed starting at 4.4gr and max of 5.4 gr again with Accurate Bullseye. My question is using the 155gr bullet where should my starting grains with Bullseye be? Can anyone help me?? I was thinking starting at 4.7 gr.with a max of 5.5. Or should I use the 150gr data???? HELP me please.
