While loading some 7.62x39mm with 125gr. FMJ using 30gr. of H335 I noticed Lee's load guide advising not to use that amount of powder with a lighter bullet in order to avoid overpressure. It seems contrary to my experience. I thought a heavier bullet of the same construction requires less powder to keep the pressure at safe levels.
Does anybody have an explanation for this contradiction?
Thanks in advance, dgang.
