[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 966010, member: 63138"] NewB You mentioned the caliber but not the chambering you are shooting. Generally speaking it is preferred to have a case full of powder that gives the maximum safe velocity. This is because the powder can not move around in the case and change the behavior of the round when it is fired. Imagine if you only had 10 grains of powder in the case and you pointed the rifle at the ground. The powder wouldn't be anywhere near the primer. Who knows what would happen. If you haven't buy Hornady's loading manual and read it all. That would provide a good basic background on loading. The fine points you can get from guys on this forum. When I want the best choice of powders for my rifles I run Quick Load (an internal ballistics simulator) which will list the performance of every powder in order from top to bottom. If you have a bunch of rifles as I do it is very useful. [/QUOTE]
