[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 1725061, member: 57533"] You answered your own question really. Imo you should try to use a powder with enough bulk density to form a safe working load. Any charge that is in a modern manual will achieve this. Slower powders are bulkier, faster powders less so if you intend to use projectiles on the heaviest side I try to use a powder that will allow enough room for it to be seated into the case(so avoiding heavily compressed loads). There is also phenomenon called secondary explosive effect where using well below minimum loads especially with slow powders can produce 2 detonations, not good for you or the rifle! Also I think cream of wheat was used mainly to fire form cases, not really to take up the empty space in a cases. [/QUOTE]
