Re: Multiple bullet weights per caliber?
Add me to the "Yes!" column. Reloading would get real boring if one limited himself to one bullet weight per caliber/cartridge. I am a fan of the .44 Magnum, and one of the most popular bullets weights is 240 gr (either jacketed or lead). But I couldn't possibly limit myself to that one bullet weight as I have reloaded every bullet weight in .44 caliber from 123 gr. balls to 310 gr. monsters. I have 5, .44 Magnums and each has it's preferred bullet now-a-days running from 240 to 265 gr bullets...

Re: Multiple bullet weights per caliber?
When I did LD for my P95 I got the best OAL first (longest worked) and then I worked up powder after. The second highest I tried was best (over book but over long too). I never chrono'd them but I had no pressure signs, they were accurate, and it's a Ruger.
