Thank you. Does the brand of bullet really make that much of a difference or brand of case ?

[Sandspider500]

Lyman cast bullet handbook 4 has some loads.

Hodgdon has a 405gr cast bullet load with 3031 in the trapdoor section.

Going to take a stab at it.

SPR could means Spritzer or Soft Point. Hunting rounds meant to mushroom once it hits it target.

JFP could mean Jacketed Flat Point bullet.
