[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 654744, member: 1521"] I'm sure there is a rational reason. I've never seen, or met anyone who has seen, DECREASING velocity with MORE powder. I've taken brass all the way to single shot death. The velocities always climbed, and predictably via Quickload. Barring barrel and/or bolt failure, AND brass so yielded it could not ever be extracted with a bolt, I know of no way this would be possible. If you could drive the bullet fast enough in a short barrel to cause an excess amount of slow powder to blow out unburned, you still had to burn enough powder to get it there. Adding more powder would only cause more of the same while increasing pressure AND velocity with it(even though diminished). Using less powder would slow the bullet down but no more powder is burning still, as the velocity IS lower(that's why it's lower). No,, BML's velocity DID NOT go from 3039fps to 2861fps due to adding 0.5gr of powder..... [/QUOTE]
