[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2584270, member: 117774"] Also, the pressure curve from a heavier bullet is extremely different than that from a lighter bullet. As it imparts more back pressure from the increased bearing area, it makes more efficient use of the powder charge, so the curve should peak and stay at a high level for a longer duration thus adding to velocity. That is why when you shoot a short barrel with an overbore cartridge, it is adviseable to use at least a midweight bullet to make efficient use of the powder. [/QUOTE]
