So, say your pet 308 load is 42 grains of 4064 with a 175 Sierra.
If you changed bullets to an equal weight cutting edge solid, what would be your change in the powder charge.

Or, if you had any favorite jacketed load, then changed to a solid, and kept the powder brand, what was the difference in the charge ?
