[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 334024, member: 9215"] Actually it's not all that clear-cut, which explains why we have such a diversity of burn rates in each type. In broad, over-lapping terms, accuracy for different cartridges is more dependant on burn rate and ignition qualities than powder shape. Flakes are good for fast powders and are easily ignited. Ball can be fast or slow burning, slighly harder to ignite than the others. Tubular is usually slower AND a bit easier to ignite than most ball powders. [/QUOTE]
