[QUOTE="Buttermilk, post: 1238958, member: 5262"] Typically it's true that the same powder that produces the highest velocity in a long barrel also produces the highest velocity in a short barrel. There are some exceptions. Different powder burn rates are in existence primarily due to bullet weights available for same cartridges, and also for different case capacities and calibers, not due to barrel length differences. I've never noticed a difference in noise level based on powder burn rate. However, some powder have flash suppressants that seem to work better than others. In daylight, I've never noticed much muzzle flash when I'm behind the trigger of any powder, with the exception of perhaps RL22. That one produced a goodly amount of muzzle flash in one of my short barreled handguns (T/C Encore 15" bbl 30-06JDJ). [/QUOTE]
