I tried searching and found similar questions. Most often it was said if there are significant changes e.g. changing bullet weights etc it's recommended to completely rework a load but I never found a question on just changing model at the same weight. I'd like a good load for 400y but I just shoot for fun. Handloading and test is what i have the most fun doing.
#1 I have a load developed for my 6.5CM with a 140 SST. I want to try out the 140 ELD Match. Will changing between 2 pretty similar bullets have a huge impact on load? I"ll probably load up a test batch going +/- .2 grains but would I need to go further than that?
#2 I want to retest in the ball park because the load I have isn't super great. I'm not blaming the SST but it has a crenulure and it's taper crimmped and the ELD match doesn't have a crenulure so i'm assuming I shouldn't taper crimp it?
#3 I notice that Hornady lists a different C.O.A.L for the 2 projectiles so i'm assuming I'd seat the ELD match much closer to the lands than the crenulure of the SST does?
Thanks in advanced for your input.
