[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 2164689, member: 12282"] For a new reloader, I'd stick with listed combinations. If you are set on the Barnes bullet, then call Barnes. Be very careful, especially with monolithic bullets, using "other" similar weight loadings. The monolithic solids have different designs and bearing surfaces (friction) compared to lead core bullets. So you MUST be careful using data for a conventional lead core bullet, when loading a monolithic bullet (copper alloy)..... I hope this makes sense. Welcome to the hobby. Its really fun, though starting in a time where getting the powder, primer and bullet combo you want is nearly impossible really makes a newbie frustrated I suspect. [/QUOTE]
