[QUOTE="Thomas B., post: 635028, member: 336"] Haagan Das, I contacted Hodgdon powders about 10 years ago on this very subject.They told me that the double base ball powders like H380 burn at lower temperature than single base stick powders. I have unscientifically proven this by shooting 10 shot strings through a 22-250 with both types of powders loaded to close to the same velocity. My barrel was significantly cooler to the touch with the H380 as opposed to 4895 when starting from cool barrel. It was enough to satisfy my curiosity as to which powder to go with. [/QUOTE]
