[QUOTE="NewB7654, post: 965785, member: 73666"] Hello everyone, I'm just getting into reloading and my head is swimming. I am shooting a hornady 130g 270 cal that from the factory does 3200fps. If that's what I'm sighted in for, that's what I want to reload BUT hornady has some special blend you can't get to replicate those numbers. That lead me to compare MANY powder types and manufacturers which is now confusing me. One such manufacturer said it would be better to go with a slower burn rate powder because it would pack it in the cartridge at 100% which is better than a faster burn rate but only 80-90% packed. Price being about the same, Is this true? How would you choose the best powder to match the ammunition I buy? (or to make the best round possible) [/QUOTE]
