[QUOTE="Heavyiron, post: 2375549, member: 95875"] Let me say first before going any farther. I do not blend powders of different numbers, and burn rates. Back before magnum primers came into being it was common to light off slow burning powder with small amounts of bullseye, maybe 2 grains. There was a time that 4831 was the slowest powder available. The next available powder was surplus machine gun powder. It was very, very slow in its burn rate, and hard to ignite. Therefore that was a common practice then. I have read of triplex loads. Testing the strength of an action is dangerous, and not wise. Wildcatters went wild with the 264 winchester case but stilled lacked the powders that we have today. I am surprised that more people didn't get killed thru the years of ignorance. Now we have safe and proven data. And just when you think that they are thru with burn rates, up pop new ones. We are living in the golden years of handloadiing. Even thou, supply right now can not keep up with demand. [/QUOTE]
