[QUOTE="Mark_in_utah, post: 53672, member: 1503"] Often the powder that's the MOST acurate at shorter ranges is the powder that is a bit faster, and ensures complete burning before the bullet leaves the barrel. The reasoning is that the bullet get buffetted by the "blow-by" of the powder gases as it leaves the muzzle, and the faster powders have lower pressures at the end of the barrel and hence less "blow-by". At longer ranges velocity becomes a bit more important to maintain through winds, and hence more emphasis on slower powders. You'll also see that along with the slower powders people go to longer barrels to ensure complete combustion of the powder. Make sense? Mark in Utah Make sense? [/QUOTE]
