Pardon if it's already been asked. I promise I DID try to find the answer without making another post.
If I'm working up a load and the tables prescribe a specific case, primer, powder and bullet, do I have to specifically stay with the manufacturer?
For instance;
If I'm loading a .223 in a Remington case with a Remington 7 1/2 small rifle primer with the prescribed gr. of Hodgen Varget powder and the 55gr Sierra SPT bullet, do I have any option to use ANOTHER manufacturer of case and primer? I certainly understand to use the prescribed Hodgen Varget powder to the prescribed gr. with the Sierra SPT bullet. But can I use the CCI small rifle primer, or the Winchester small rifle primer? Can I use another manufacturer for the case also? Or do I STRICTLY USE the consumables prescribed within the data charts?
Again, understanding that I will use the EXACT POWDER with the EXACT powder charge and the EXACT bullet associated with that charge.
Thanks in advance,
kevinh
