It can actually be dangerous to switch bullets indescriminately. Even if they weigh the same, one bullet may result in much higher maximum pressures than another.

Always consult load data for the precise bullet you'll be using. There can be as much as a three-to-four grain difference in maximum loads with some bullet/powder combinations! A moderate and safe load with one bullet can go way beyond maximum just by changing bullets.
