[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 827178, member: 807"] As long as the bullet diameter is correct for the weapon, and you don't load pointed bullets for a tubular magazine, go for it. Some bullets have more bearing surface than others and if you were already at maximum load pressure, substituting a bullet with more bearing surface might increase the pressures enough to be concerned about, but other than that, nothing to worry about. I have substituted different types of bullets many times over the years, as long as the weight and diameter is the same I haven't experienced any problems. I tend to stay at starting load data or at most the middle of the table for most of my guns. There have been a few exceptions over the years where I have had to load at the top end of the chart to get accuracy out of a particular rifle. Good luck, and load those suckers... Blitz [/QUOTE]
