[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 914986, member: 69478"] Well you have learned fast sir! Now powders... these took awhile, for me atleast, to understand. It takes a lot of studying burn charts, loading manuals, and experience to master this. I'm no expert about this subject but I understand a good bit of it. Smaller calibers such as .224s like faster powders ranging from IMR 4198 for the .222 Remington to IMR 4064 in the big powder burners like .220 Swifts. Big Magnums require some of the slowest propellents such as H1000, RETUMBO, IMR 7828, and H870, the lists goes on but you get what I saying. In the middle of this comes medium sized cartridges such as. .270s, .280s, '06s, and other traditional deer hunting rounds. This is where 4350, 4831, and 4064 work the best. Now low capacity big calibers like .30-30, .308 WIN, and cartridges based off the .308 Winchester like IMR 3031, 4895, and sometimes slower powders for the bigger medium capacity rounds when using heavy bullets. Barrel lengths, bullet weights, and personal goals for a given cartridge also has an effect on which powder to use. This is a brief explanation but I hope this information helps. [/QUOTE]
