[QUOTE="jasonprox700, post: 2633206, member: 7328"] AMEN!!! I read that all the time about running "Fast" powders in a short barrel. Those same people stating that don't have a clue about powder burn rates and how long it actually takes powder to actually burn from a solid state to a gas. Whatever powder gives you the best velocity in say a 20-24" barrel will still give you the best velocity in a 16" barrel. I've tried this on a handful of cartridges (no "magnums" though) and the results are always the same. The only time a burn rate plays in to the equation is barrel harmonics (finding that "node") and trying to make an auto loader cycle (AR's). [/QUOTE]
