    Thanks @zimmer, and much appreciated. Parameters unchanged from v3.6.

    Referring back to the 6.5x47 pressure signs thread, I felt there was cause for concern because for H4350 the burn rate had to be backed off quite a bit from nominal to get a velocity match to my drop figures. I was casting around looking for a reason why the velocity - and presumably pressure - was low for what according to Quickload should have been charges bordering on excessive; maybe the pressures weren't low, and the Barnard/Lapua combination hiding this well, and for some unexpected reason the velocity not being developed.

    Only yesterday I thought I'd try plugging 2209 into the simulation , and the prediction was that I'd struggle with fitting enough 2209 into the case to get excessive pressures - the parameters for the two powders are that different.

    It's going to be a short-lived issue anyway. I'm just about out of H4350 (only purchased when 2209 was stocked out) and moving onto a keg of the real thing, so I'll soon find out how close they behave to each other in the real world.
