Default RE: More than one sweet spot??

Sorry if I sounded a bit gruff, I was in a hurry when I wrote the last post, often times the wrong emotions are relayed when the words aren't carefully picked. My apologies.

I have to put a disclaimer in that I didn't get in my last post. The powder was 2400. The load would be used with a cast bullet. I wouldn't recommend using it with a jacketed bullet. I've only started experimenting with cast loads about a year ago, but I have some acquaintances that are old timers that have been making their own bullets for decades who are my mentors. Loads in rifle cases using red dot, unique, or 2400 and a few others aren't going to be found in too many reloading books, though there are a few. Noneof these powders will detonate, but there is a serious danger to the inattentive reloader who double charges. An old man I shoot with did do this and blew up his beautiful new Ruger M77. Don't try something new or outside the bounds of the reloading manuals unless you have read up on what you are about to do or are knowledgeable about what you are doing.

Be safe.
