    You can use the data for the heavier bullet with the lighter one; you just can't do the opposite. Your pressures will be a bit lower (safer), and velocities will be a touch higher.

    Thanks to the both of you for your help.
    Grmps... Is that load data from the Lyman manual for the 45 Colt, or 454 Casull. Thanks again, Bill
