[QUOTE="FURMAN, post: 1587799, member: 26535"] In my experience, which is quite a bit, a bullet likes to run at a certain velocity in a certain length barrel which I already stated. The nodes are typically as previously stated. In some cases a slower burning powder will help you get to the next node where as the faster burning powder may have already pressured out. In the cases where you have found a load with new brass and then run out of new brass and start using once fired I have found sometimes you have to reduce powder charge to get back to the original speed(where the node is). Changing brass to a different capacity(brand) will be similar. I have found in magnums when the barrel speeds up you typically have to reduce powder charge to get back to the same velocity as before(where the node is). Some just ride the extra velocity at the expense of loosing accuracy. I will take accuracy over velocity every day but velocity is a consideration when choosing a cartridge. [/QUOTE]
