[QUOTE="rustyshackleford, post: 2324182, member: 59526"] I’d say you get better results with “slower” powders with bigger heavier bullets just because typically the goal with bigger heavier bullets is to shoot further and further and you need as much velocity up front as you can get. Kinda like the previous poster said, a guy who shoots benchrest told me that the majority of the powder used was quicker than what was expected and not necessarily top charges. But in BR you need a 0.1” group and for hunting or action rifle shooting that just isn’t necessary. If I’m picking btw a 0.1” load be a 0.6” load, and the 0.6” load is going 150 ft/sec faster or more I’ll choose it every time and top velocity loads typically happen with “slower” powders for a given cartridge.
