| I am just getting into reloading and have setup my RCBS rockchucker and all the other tools etc. I also bought Alliant 15 powder to use for .223 reloads. Is it alright to use any bullet with that powder when reloading? I know to be cautious when getting recipes off the internet but I figured I would seek the hives advice. The Speer manual specifics a specific type to use with alliant 15 powder but I can't seem to find them anywhere online. |

The Speer manual specifics a specific type to use with alliant 15 powder but I can't seem to find them anywhere online. The Speer manual will list loads for Speer bullets. If you are looking at loads for a Speer 55gr but are using Hornady (for example) you will likely be fine because you should ALWAYS work up your load from well below maximums. This wiggle room is intended to account for the subtle differences in bullets, chambers and other variables. I'd advise you post in the reloading forum with more detail. |

got to the powder manufacture above to see, most time powders will work with various bullet weights but tends to shine in either heavy bullets or light bullets. |

Please read the ABC's of reloading before putting anything together. Once you have read all of that, start slow and build your loads starting at the posted minimum. It is also I good idea to have multiple reloading manuals to consult.
Reloading can have tragic results if done incorrectly and isn't something that should be thrown together. Link to the book |

Follow all the above advice.
This is another good website, once you get some experience on the basics, under your belt. http://accuratereloading.com/ |
