Reloading snafu??

[nmkid]

I think I might have screwed up today. Decided to load up some RE 22 for the 6-284. I used 105 gr Hybrids. Going by the Sierra manual min. load 47.0 grs. to max 51.1 grs. I started at 47.0 grains and went up .5 every 5 cases until I reached 51.0 grains. After the loading I looked at the Sierra manual to make sure I was OK by their loads. Yikes!! I had just loaded all these 105 gr. bullets with loading info for the Sierra 107 gr. HPBT. Do they need to be pulled? Don't know how I misread the weight of the bullet. However, I always go back and check all the figures before I put loaded rounds away for shooting. I know the decision to shoot them is all on me but, what is the general consensus...Shoot or pull?

You will be fine. Just start with the 47g and keep an eye out for pressure as you would anyway.....

105gr and 107gr data is the same.

You're good to go.

You can always use the next heavier bullet's data if you can't find data for the weight you're using.
Example... I can use 308win 155gr data for 150gr bullets, just not the other way around.

What they said ^^^^^^

Ditto. What he said they said. Carefully inspect for pressure signs.

That's not a SNAFU. Assuming that load range is reasonable, you are going to start low and work up, watching all the time.

Right?

I would double check the seating depth. Not sure how this is going to act if jammed hard into the lands.

Yup

Not jammed. .015 off.

Well, I kinda figured it would be OK but, a little reinforcement goes a long ways. Thanks to all.
