A buddy of mine gave me a bunch of misc. reloading stuff awhile back. Several partial boxes of bullets that i'm loading up, anywhere from 20-50 pills per open pack. One is a older hornady v-max 35 gr .224 bullet.Not worried about twist rates, accuracy etc, just want to load them up to plink with but i can't find any data for bullets this small except for barnes 36gr bullets. Normally i would just use that data being the weight is only 1gr off but i think i remember reading before you shouldn't use barnes bullet data for other bullets. I don't ever use barnes bullet so I'm not sure if it's true or the reasoning behind it if it is. is it ok to use that data? Also while i was looking i checked all the other .22 cal. rounds in several manuals and don't see anything being used under 40gr. except for that one .223/barnes bullet load. What are these used for? Even looked in a older hornady book ad figured they would be in there but nothing below 40gr.
