[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2323311, member: 68875"] Totally depends on cartridge, bullet type, and barrel length in my opinion. And, your definition of "fast" or "slow" powder burn rates. Generally speaking, faster burn rate for lighter bullets, slower burn rate for heavier bullets. But getting the right burn rate for the barrel length might take some playing. I have a 20" and 26" in the same chambering. With the same bullet, they like different powder choices. 26" like a slower burn rate powder, 20" likes a faster burn rate powder to maximize velocity. Even though the 20" is actually heavier, the recoil impulse is different, a bit sharper with the faster burn rate powder. And definitely noticeable. [/QUOTE]
