    Following load data

    The question is not how important is it to follow published load data...

    I have the Lee book and 124gr 9mm load data is at a minimum while 125gr 9mm has a variety of data..

    I read that you can use the 125gr data to load 124gr.

    basically how true is that statement.?

      If load data states this, I would follow it. I have a couple of bullets that I can not find data on. So I used the closest one that I could find. I would guess that if the bullet is 124 or 125 it should be close. If you weigh a 124, it can come up as 123, or 125. Try to stay as close to what you have, as you can. Do not take a 150g and load for 125. Then you could have issues... I am betting that someone is going to jump in and tell me I am incorrect. So I have put on the fire suit to be ready...

          yeah I know what you mean.. I'm speaking more specific on just using 125gr load data with a 124gr bullet.. yeah I have a little bit of knowledge not to use 147gr data on a 115/124gr bullet.

              125gr data with the 124gr bullet is perfectly safe. My cast boolits will vary by a grain or two. You're OK.

                  Yep, I use the 125 data on a regular basis when my specific 124 projectile isn't listed. You're G2G.

                      Pay more attention to projectile length and seating depth rather than the extra grain of weight. You can't interchange data without understanding these relationships.

                          As long as the data is for the same TYPE of bullet it will be ok. Don't confuse a lead bullet for a Jacketed or vice versa.
