[QUOTE="jimbires, post: 1816892, member: 11011"] the difference is powder burn speeds . 17 is faster burning than 26 . there are powder burn charts that will show you burn speeds from fast to slow , you should be able to google up a powder burn speed chart . there is more to it than this though . just because two powders are similar on the burn chart does not mean they will produce the same velocity in that given cartridge . usually heavier bullets like slower burning powders . I like the computer program " quickload " it really helps with powder choice . [/QUOTE]
