[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 554191, member: 10755"] No. There is no reason to go to a faster powder! General rule of thumb is that whatever powder produces top velocities in a standard length barrel will also produce top velocities in a shorter barrel. It's pressure/time curve that derives velocity, not necessarily the speed of the powder, per se. If you go to a faster powder, the pressure/time curve is reduced, and therefore velocity will suffer, even in a shorter barrel. If we were talking about a 12" barrel, then a faster powder would be beneficial. Stick with the top loads in your manuals, generally the top 3 powders listed with the highest velocities will be the best choice. gun) [/QUOTE]
