Hi everyone,
I have been researching on ways to reload for this magnificent Swiss rifle. From what I understand most people use .308 bullets for their rifle and seat the bullet at around 3.060" for the K11. I found this load for the rifle at

Sierra Match king 175gr:
4064......................42gr
4350......................45.8gr
It uses a 308 bullet HPBT. This bullet is very expensive and I am looking for a substitute. I am leaning towards using the 30 Cal Bullets by PPU, 174gr FMJ BT instead.
My question is.
Is it safe to substitute a different make of bullet in load data? In this case both are boat tails and both are 174-176 grains so almost the exact same. The only big difference is that one is a hollow point.
If anyone has there own reloads for this cartridge I would love to hear it as well.
