[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1275912, member: 30902"] Older powders lack the coatings of more modern powders simply because the chemistry has changed over the years as more has been learned. In general I find that faster burning powders using the same caliber bullets of the same weights compared to the slower burning powders have a sharper felt recoil than the latter. One exception to that generalization is H1000. Since the explosion of the slower powder is more drawn out than with the faster powders it makes sense but I don't know how it can be proven or disproven though since "felt recoil" is a very subjective thing and each shooter will perceive recoil differently based on a host of factors. I think based on my limited experience with it you'll grow to like RL17 if you give it a try and the temp stability of RL26 over 25 if you give them a chance. Have you tried RL16 at all? I've seen mixed results from people commenting on it. [/QUOTE]
