[QUOTE="jtmoose, post: 1166352, member: 87081"] Do I understand it correctly that: 1.) Using a heavier bullet keeps the powder burning in the barrel longer because the bullet doesn't get out of the way as fast. 2.) A fast powder with too heavy a bullet will overpressure because it cannot expand the chamber far enough fast enough. 3.) Slow powder would do better with a longer barrel and heavier projectile to give it enough burn time. 4.) A fast powder would be better with a lighter projectile and a barrel length providing the means to a long enough burn time. [/QUOTE]
