I have some 75 gr V-max's that I want to load with Hybrid 100v, but there is no published data for this powder with this weight bullet.
I've found load data for 80 gr Sierra BTHP using 40.0 gr of Hybrid 100v.

My thinking is that the safest way to load would be to drop the powder charge down a few grains from the 80 gr load listed and start from there. any suggestions or load data that I don't know about would be appreciated .

Thanks

Jared

The relatively safe "rule of thumb" is that you can use reloading data from a heavier bullet and substitute a lighter bullet. The converse however is NOT true.
