    Greetings Cigar and All, The answer is yes, sort of. John Barsness did an excellent article in Handloader a while back. He found a strong relationship between velocity and pressure and worked up...

    Greetings Cordite, Worth remembering that powder equivalents are based on speed not volume so you need to check with your scales how much powder the scoop throws. ADI powders can be more dense than...
