I haven't started reloading yet as the permission fell through so I am back to square one.

It will come though.
I noticed that. The list shows almost entirely 'jacketed bullet' but mentions solid bullet and A-Max so I'm guessing ballistic tipped are treated the same as jacketed bullet as that's essentially what they are but with soft tips.

Also, I may have made a boo-boo in buying N150 powder which is more suited to heavier bullets. I really want it as a fox round so bullet weights up to 80gr would be preferable but N150 doesn't appear in the list until 77gr upwards whereas N140 appears from 58 gr upwards.

You live and learn. And spend money
