[QUOTE="Starlite, post: 1889187, member: 112246"] Ok. Just for my interest. Which trailboss is being quoted. Hodgdon or IMR as they are different and have different burn rates. It does matter right?? to the OP I once had a similar Question for myself ( and yes it was me as I recognized my voice) Was wondering if superformance powder was the same as StaBall6.5.(as I had 8# of it and no superformance and liked the ballistics of the Hornady 129SST with superformance powder) My conclusion was no but very similar in every measurable manner. Once I got to my accuracy velocity I was GTG. My advice would to do as you stated. (And others) Remove the projectile, weight the powder but also inspect the powder for shape (extruded vs sphere vs flake) and measure a piece as well if needed. There is lots of descriptive data on powder web sites. Then find a similar powder to these findings and burn rate and you’ll likely be really close without blowing yourself up. good luck and be sure to report back as I’m very curious. Besides some will be out of their corners by then....JK guys JK. good luck. [/QUOTE]
