[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2439357, member: 94491"] I'm not a believer of the "faster powder for short barrels" -- I've tried it and in my experience it does nothing. I believe the burn rate is based off the cartridge and bullet weight. I have a 16" 308w and a 26" ( also same in 6.8spc and 223/5.56)--- in the 16" I tried a multitude of "faster" powders and could never get faster speeds for the same weight bullet. The faster burn rate powders just show pressure signs earlier in my experience. Faster powders for lighter bullets- yes, that works for me. Others may have different results but faster powders for shorter barrels don't work for me. [/QUOTE]
