[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1874471, member: 109862"] Very true, has been my experience too. In rifles anyway, no experience with pistols, whatever powder gives the highest performance does so regardless of barrel length, the advantage of faster than normal powder having to do with muzzle blast on shorter barrels. My 270 has a 22 inch barrel and does it’s best work with full or even compressed loads of Rl22, 7828, 7977, rl 25 even. Haven’t been as impressed with the usually recommended 4064, 4350, 4831 powders but I do sure notice how much brighter the flash and louder the ka-BOOM! is with my 7828 loads compared to 4350. I like that though, if one doesn’t enjoy a fireball and a big kaboom it seems odd to be centerfire rifle enthusiast. [/QUOTE]
