Hi all again but as i am new to this I am probably going to bug you for weeks to come so , chin up , dig yer heels in cause I am a slow learner! And teaching myself from scratch knowing nothing from the beggining.
I have ordered pretty much all I think I need to reload for my little beast and its arriving daily in drips and drabs. One thing I am short though is Heads/Bullets.
Being in the UK and only shooting deer here for the meantime what would you recommend??? In the following weights .... bearing in mind please I want to load as light as possible for now.
These are all that are available to buy so what should I start with. I want fragmentation , reason being for those who have not had the Opportunity to visit Mud Island: there is never a place to be without someone litrally being in your pants Eeker Big Grin( never far away for someone) so I have to be safe.
Obviously I want the velocity that Weatherby offers but as usual optimum accuracy for humaine shots.

Hornady 200gr SP
Hornady 200gr FP
Nosler 180gr spitzer hunting ballistic tip
" 200gr " " " "
C Technology 200gr hunting ballistic silvertip
Speer 200gr spitzer

And thats it I am afraid!
Many thanks for your time

For the 180's I would use:
IMR-4831 From 84.0 grains to 88.0 grains
Federal 215 Primer

For the 200's I would use:
RL-22 From 82.0 grains to 92.0 grains
Federal 215 Primer

As for bullet choice, of the bullets you listed, I would go with the Speer 200 grain.

However, if you are open to a suggestion, I would have you seriously consider the Sierra 215 SPT.

And, put it on top of:
IMR-4831 From 72.6 grains to 86.3 grains
Federal 215 Primer
