[QUOTE="Carey Farmer, post: 2867986, member: 122715"] The "flame temperature" chart is actually a "heat of combustion" chart... the amount of heat (in Joules) released when 1 gram of powder is burned. But the ratio of the burning powder temperature rise should be about the same as the heat-of-combustion ratio. Per the heat of combustion chart, RL17 releases 13% more heat than H100V. The ratio of temperature rise (from ambient) of the barrels is 15%. That is really close to what one would expect! [/QUOTE]
