[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 758075, member: 1521"] I'm with Edd. I go for a balance that is FIRST case fill, then velocity, & work from there for accuracy. Extra powder is a valid barrel life factor, especially if getting nothing in return. But sometimes better filling powders are cooler/slower(as seen in QuickLoad), which somewhat counters loss in barrel life. Not so in this case of comparison.. HY100V is listed in QL as a very cool powder. If these numbers are correct(your load ends up matching posted) there is significant gain in barrel life potential. Too much to pass up without trying it first. See capture of my calcs attached Otherwise: Case fill matters (when not running extreme pressure loads), as low density loads can add to ES. And this is one of only a few things you can influence ES with. [/QUOTE]
