[QUOTE="Dano1, post: 614982, member: 14209"] 7 STW, I've thought a bit about case fill and the Data that Walt sent me confirms your suggestion. I was really impressed with the velocities that US869 was capabile of, so I decided that was the one to choose first. Interestingly enough H1000 has a better Fill ratio (96.7%) than RL-22 at (94.7%) @ max loads, so it looks like H1000 may be a better choice. Velocities are nearly Identical. Retumbo has the better Fill Ratio at 98.7%, so it would naturally be a better choice. US869 has a slower Burn Rate than all of these, but being a ball powder, the fill ratio will definately be lower. There are powders that yield higher velocities like Ramshot Magnum and IMR 7828 SSC, but their Fill ratios are 92.1% and 89.0% respectively. I'm just hopeing I guess. I'll probablly end up using Retumbo in the end. I'm glad you suggest this, I like the fact that some one double checking me. Keeps me safe and inline... ;) You are by no means preaching, it's good for those who are silently reading these posts as well. Later, Dan [/QUOTE]
