[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2645927, member: 118038"] Accurate 4350 is a much slower powder than H4350 and IMR 4350. Now, if you use a lot more charge of Accurate 4350 which is a slower powder and you have a fairly long barrel, I'm not saying you can't get the same or more velocity versus H4350 or IMR 4350, if your load does not pressure out before then, but it will take you more powder charge and a longer barrel maybe to get the same velocity as H4350 and IMR 4350 with Accurate 4350. Here are the relative burn rates taken from Quick Load. [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Powder[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]Burn Rate[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]IMR 4350[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]0.515[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]Faster[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]H 4350[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]0.513[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Accurate 4350[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]0.381[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]Slower[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] This shows the relative burn rate and are an indication of the corresponding initial pressures you will get from each of these powders. Pressures and velocities from the top 2 will be higher and at quicker velocity than for Accurate 4350. So, if case capacity will allow, and and your barrel length is a little longer, maybe you can work up to pressure with Accurate 4350 and still get the same velocities you were getting with the other 2 powders, but maybe not, and at the same charge weight, no way. This was all explained previously in this thread I believe if you go back over the whole thread. Burn rate charts are not very useful when looking at these types of questions. They only get you in a certain ball park but are not very defining. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
