[QUOTE="aramarine6, post: 796553, member: 24685"] "Generally, the faster powder, at equal charge weights, will produce faster velocities. This is because a lot of the slower powder's energy is wasted in heat transfer to the barrel and escaped gas and heat at the muzzle." Understanding Firearm Ballistics. Pg. 25 Robert A. Rinker.
