[QUOTE="Dragoon300, post: 2483691, member: 115285"] I wonder if this information changed anyone's mind or helped them with their powder choices.....? Yes, back in the day we didn't have temperature stable powders, had fun and did fine for the time. We also didn't have many shooters routinely making shots much past 1,000 yards. Now we have these powders that were developed to give our professional shooters an advantage when working in extremely diverse climates, engaging very Hostile targets. And they worked very well. Now we have them available to us (figuratively) to use if we desire. (or can actually get them) We now see many shooters making shots of a mile, or even two! I am willing to bet most of these shooters are using temperature stable powders, along with the best components and equipment they can afford. I prefer to have as much velocity and accuracy as I can get out of a given round. Velocity and a flatter trajectory are an advantage in long range shooting. This also extends the lethality range for a given target. I also prefer to minimize the variables, and maximize every advantage I can. Yes, higher velocity does contribute to "killing" barrels. (Barrels are a consumable) It also aids in killing targets at longer distances! There are no rights or wrongs, just use the most appropriate tool you can get your hands on, to accomplish the task at hand. Oh, and have as much fun as you can while doing it! [/QUOTE]
