I have a 7.5X55 that can use a 168gr SIE HPBT according to Hodgdon's site.
I have a 30.06 that can use a 168gr HDY HPBT according to Hodgdon's.
Each lists recipes for only the one projectile. I would like to try the same projectile for both rifles. Your advise seems solid for this issue, But do you still think so after being given the added info?
Thank you.
I only called them both .308 because that is the only projectile caliber I have seen offered for either for reloading (I am brand new to reloading).
My intent is not to use one recipe for both cartridges, but to use one projectile for both cartridges.
I use Hodgdon's site regularly and they are the ones that made me curious, as they only list the Hornady for 30.06 and only the Sierra for 7.5 Swiss. It insinuates a difference without stating one.
I do need to buy another recipe book for double checking and for added info.
If I might ask a "part 2" to this question, it appears that I only need one die set to do both 30-06 and 7.5 as long as I am not doing a full length resize, am not mixing brass between rifles and re-adjust for COL when seating projectiles. Valid?
