[QUOTE="NEMTHunter, post: 1685623, member: 77631"] Slower powder that creates more FPS does not have to do it by more pressure. To many time people see the speed and say you did it with higher pressure then the last powder even though the slower pressure shows less pressure or no pressure signs compared to the slower burning powder. If you look at a reloaders manual you can pick out the slower powders. Almost every time they have more speed with the same pressure as the faster burning powders and some times they have less speed AND less pressure than the slow burning powder because they ran out of space in the case and that limited the amount powder in the case. Bullets, as we know, can play a part in needing faster or slower powders. In simple terms. Just because the slower burning powder has a higher FPS than the faster burning powder does not mean it's done with a higher pressure. Slower burning powder burns slower as in it last longer and in almost every case the extra speed is not from more pressure. But maintaining the pressure longer in the barrel. And that, in turn, makes the bullet leave the power faster since it was pushed with the same pressure longer. It's as simple as that. [/QUOTE]
