[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2211901, member: 63925"] One aspect that is overlooked is when we set the bullet out as far as we can to minimize jump. The case space just increased and powder load density decreased. I can see how developing a new load with a powder that doesn't have load data can take you down this road if the starting loads are too light. With normal powders scarce, powders that may be questionable, are being tried maybe in desperation. Powder burn rate tables are being used like they provide absolute substitutions based upon similar positions on table irrelevant to the powder being ball, extruded etc. Add in brass and primer scarcity, new loads become even more interesting. Safety needs to be in forefront whenever we try new development loads. With recent component scarcity, I am not so certain this is true any more. The first question should always be how safe not how fast. [/QUOTE]
