[QUOTE="su37, post: 285752, member: 5541"] "Absolutely not true, if they burned in the first 2", then why would you see fire out the end of a 20" barrel with slow powder?" Your seeing gases re-ignite when they leave the barrel and hit oxygen. ALL POWDERS BURN WITHIN THE FIRST TWO INCHES OF BARREL LENGTH AND NO MORE! If you think that slow powders burn all the way down a long barrel you are mistaken. Quick Load shows us slow powders that create a different pressure curve than faster powders. Longer barrels create longer pressure times. [/QUOTE]
