Looking to see if anybody has any load data for the following combinations .

Sierra 69 TMK + varget for 223

Berger 60 gr + varget for 223

Berger 135 classic hunter + H4350 for 6.5 Creedmor

I have the Hornandy 10th edition but the 69 and 135 are not in there .

Would I be able to use the 60 gr Berger info in the book like the hornandy bullets with the Varget ?
 
In general you can use the next heavier bullet weight listed with the same propellant and OAL and get safe results. Just be sure it is the same type/shape and material. Use lead for lead, jacketed for jacketed, both similar types are boat tail, HP for HP, etc. The big exception is solid bullets they cannot use standard bullet data. The bullet manufacturer is the best source for data especially with solids. I would email them and ask.

Makes sense what you are saying going to email Sierra and Berger and see what they suggest .

Found 6.5 info from Berger for the 135 assuming that the aa 4350 was used but could not find anything on the 60 Berger .

As always appreciate your insight and willingness to help people out !
