[QUOTE="3006savage, post: 363732, member: 12069"] Sounds like the same claims being made for RL17. Progressive burn rate which limits peak pressure but optimizes average pressure. The secret with the Light Magnum ammo was a loading technique that maximized the powder charge. That is why some of the light mag ammo did not gain much velocity and other loads did depending on the load density. It would also explain the higher recoil and muzzle pressure with the light mag stuff compared to Superperformance ammo. I understand some of the 06 light mag loads had 67 grains of powder. I actually measured some of the 165 grain interbond light mags and I think the powder charge was in the 63+ grain range when I weighed it. I could not get the powder back into the case with out the bullet pushing back out. [/QUOTE]
