I'm just getting started in this whole reloading thing and have a few questions, but I'll only ask one for now...Is it a reasonable practice to use a different bullet to work up a load instead of the actual bullet you will use for the final product? For example, can I expect the performance from a Hornady 55 gr fmj BT wc and a Hornady 55 gr Vmax to be the same with identical case prep and powder loads, or will the BT profile be enough of a difference to have different results than the Vmax? I can get the fmj BT wc as a bulk bullet considerably cheaper than the Vmax and of course would like to experiment with the cheaper bullet before finalizing a load.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
