[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 1461555, member: 96274"] Not to hi-jack but I have a related side question. As others have stated I tend to search for what has been working well for others and reference a burn rate charge to see if slightly faster or slower may serve me better. For my question; can I SAFELY use starting charge weights from one powder to another that are close in burn rate? For example say I want to use IMR's new 8133 but can't find data for my application. However I have tested H1000 and know I can safely go to 79gr in my setup. Knowing this and that 8133 is slightly slower in burn rate can I start at 75-76gr of 8133 knowing I shouldn't hit pressure till 79 or more grains of powder? I guess really what I'm asking is will charge weights be similar if burn rate is similar? [/QUOTE]
