[QUOTE="Carey Farmer, post: 3058574, member: 122715"] Agreed. Given a bore size, case capacity and bullet weight, you'll get the best speed with a powder that is slow enough that you can fill the case up, but fast enough that a case full of powder will hit your pressure limit. My point wasn't that you should use fast powder in short barrels. It was that there's not much benefit to using long barrels with fast powder. [/QUOTE]
