ysrracer Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I've been loading 3.0gr of clays behind a 160gr Bayou bullet with good results. 810fps, 129 pf. If I keep everything the same, but swap in a 148gr coated bullet, what can I expect? Does a lighter bullet with the same powder charge go faster or slower than the 160gr one?

Tunachaser Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Lighter bullets usually need more powder, to make the same PF a 124 gr. bullet needs to reach at least 1040 FPS. Look in your reloading book at how powder charges change with changes in bullet weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
