[QUOTE="Carey Farmer, post: 2755325, member: 122715"] Sort of. The actual temperature of the burning powder is dependent on pressure. The higher the pressure, the higher the flame temp, for any powder. But at the same pressure, a higher energy content powder will be hotter than a lower energy content powder, by about the same ratio as the energy content ratio. I have tried to offset the high temperature of high-energy-content powders by running lower pressure. Didn't work. Still burned up barrels. I don't use N570 any more. Not even RE 33 - it's energy content is 3900 J / g. I stick with single base powders. Retumbo is 3710, H1000 is 3630, VV N165 is 3500. [/QUOTE]
