Humor me for a second guys,

what is the coolest burning powder available, that could be considered a consistent powder? Burn rates somewhere between h4350 and h50bmg...

Coolest possible while still consistent is important.

Thanks,
Tim.
 
H1000 will be one of your top candidates without doing any research as to what is actually #1.

Great replies guys. I'm surprised US-869 didn't come up as well as other ball powders. Any thoughts on those?
 
Ok, here's the "humor me" part

How much US-869 would it take to propel a 115g class 6mm bullet to around 31-3200fps given an absolute max barrel length of 24"?

My goal is to shoot 6mm heavies fast with cool-burning powder for barrel protection.

Anyone have insight on the amount of powder needed? Once quantity is assessed, a parent case will be chosen. This may prove as simple as 243ai or as difficult as 7mm fatso necked down further. :)

Any thoughts?
