[QUOTE="steve smith, post: 276734, member: 110"] Now, switching to a slower burning powder will increase the duration of peak pressure (you will get there later but stay there longer), but if you're not hitting peak pressure to begin with, moving to slower powder would exacerbate the situation. If you're not reaching peak pressure, increasing the charge weight could be the answer, but if you're limited by the case capacity then you need to go to a faster powder. One thing to keep in mind is that the peak pressure (ie; max pressure) in your cartridge may not be enough to burn the powder efficiently. Namely using H110 in a 45lc. I'm pushing things to max, but my max isn't high enough to get a complete burn. [/QUOTE]
