[QUOTE="Braggs, post: 1447764, member: 14999"] Great answers everyone. Lets make sure I understand this correctly... the grains printed on the box is the weight of the bullet, not the amount of powder the bullet is rated for. Nobody prints how much or what kind of powder they use. +P means more powder than normal (maybe they pack it in tighter creating more pressure in the casing?) +P+ is even more powder than that. So, for reloading purposes, how do you know how much powder to put in the brass? Do you start with half the bullet weight just for plinking (less $$)? Will a bullet that's 115 grain destabilize (meaning to breakup or disintegrate) if one uses too much powder behind it? Thanks, Braggs [/QUOTE]
