Bullets can be called heads if they self identify as such, biological sex doesn’t apply so get over it or be cancelled by the woke brigade.

Ah but when dealing with things that are potentially 60000psi, surely its correct to get the terminology correct? I know some of the woke can be a bit hot but not that hot

I choose not to reply to anyone who calls the projectiles, heads, if possible.
Saves an argument!

My advice is not to call a Bullet a Head.

Projectile works, although, to be pedantic, (IMO) it's only a projectile when its been projected out of the barrel ie 'in flight'.
A brick is a projectile when it's thrown at something, so is a plate and an egg ... but a bullet is a bullet.

As far as reloading advice, thats a whole new ball game.
It's complex.
There are a whole lot of factors that determine what is a 'safe' load and what is dangerous.
VihtaVuori publish a list of load data but even these should not be taken as 'safe' for your rifle.

Always start below (or at the minimum) and work up to an load that meets your requirements for accuracy and (above all) safety.
You reloading manual will give you loads of advice regarding how to spot when a load is approaching max pressure.

Measure the case capacity and set a COAL that suits your chambering.
Seat the bullet accurately and consistently.
Then experiment with powder wieghts.
