[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2407809, member: 10755"] I bet if you load both 4350 and 4831, the 4831 will produce more velocity. This notion of a short barrel means a fast powder is a misconception. Most powder loads with the correct burn rate, regardless of barrel length are consumed within the first 4” of barrel after the chamber ends. I laid out white sheets from a Kingsize bed in front of my test bench and fired every single powder I had over the sheet, the only unburned powder kernels I found were from loads in my 338 Edge using H50BMG at a not so complete burn, which I knew was happening from the Pressure Trace data. The only other unburned powder that I could see was from some black powder loads in my 44-40 and my 1911 45 ACP. All normal rifle loads had zero unburned powder collecting on the sheet. I have come across a few instances where a load density just wasn’t suitable and left unburned powder in the barrel. Most notable were 300g HP in my 24” barreled 45-70 and 30” 45-120 with paper patched 540g pills using H4895. Absolutely terrible performance! Cheers. [/QUOTE]
