Here's my understanding (essay warning): As you subject the powder to more pressure and more heat, it burns more thoroughly/cleanly/completely. Smokeless powder essentially creates its own...

How fast is the powder used for 22 rimfire ? Have read somewhere that max velocity is reached very quickly. Pistols would be the same ? So perhaps extrapolating that info would give you your answer...

Likewise we've had good experiences zooming up and down the country on hunting trips. Play the game and it's all very straight forward. Had to laugh though... on one trip did I carried my mates...

If the story played out like described by the cats owner, he said the cat was shot while it was on his own section, and he said the shooter was pointing the rifle at the houses. If correct then I...

Well I've just done load development for my 17" barreled model 7 latte'o'8 44gn of 2209 was my starting load and was good for 2460fps 44gn of 2208 was max load well over book max and gave 2706fps...

I think it's a bit different to what is described. You are trying to get to max safe pressure, and maintain that pressure in order to achieve the most force and thus acceleration on the projectile....

I think he is correct. The muzzle blast increases with slower powders meaning more wasted energy even though the velocity is higher.

It all depends if you want muzzle blast or velocity. Shorter barrels burn faster powders more efficiently than slower powders but the shorter barrel precludes getting optimum velocity. Long barrels...
