What is also important is the ratio between case volume and caliber. A big case with a wide neck will require a faster powder, compared to the same case necked down. eg S335 is great in a 308 win, but S365 works better in .243 win.

You will be surprised at how much difference small changes in a case dimensions and capacity can make
Why some powders do better in certain cartridge cases
QuickLOAD will indicate this when doing simulations

I think you removed more than you think, or there was some other factor involved.

Have a look at what the powder column in early 458 Winchester rounds looked like




I lapped the bolt face of my 204Ruger. I must have taken off less than 0.1mm, and this was enough of an increase in head space (case capacity) to completely throw off my load. I had to add another 0.2gr to get the load back on track.

Hoe werk geweerkruit?

Ek verstaan 'n fyn, dun korreltjie (MS 200 / MP200 / S221) wat vinnig ontbrand vir n handwapen. Net so verstaan ek n groter, growwe korrel (S365 / S385) in 'n groot dop.

Waarom gebruik n mens dan S365 in 'n 243? Hoër druk, of wat?

I really like using Ball Propellants, but they seem to be less reliable in a few ways. I wish Somchem released a short cut granular propellant.

Get one of those little coffee grinders and some S365, and let me know how it goes ;)]]> Reloading Methodology Againstthegrains https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/hoe-werk-geweerkruit/#post-5182 Re: Hoe werk geweerkruit? https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/hoe-werk-geweerkruit/#post-5179 Wed, 21 Aug 2024 10:03:45 +0000
IMR 7828 SSC (Super short cut)

Yes, thats the one.]]> Reloading Methodology Treeman https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/hoe-werk-geweerkruit/#post-5179 Re: Hoe werk geweerkruit? https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/hoe-werk-geweerkruit/#post-5178 Wed, 21 Aug 2024 00:39:16 +0000

What would "short cut granular" be?

Sorry mate that should have read - Short cut extruded, I am so used to calling it flake - ball and granular  ;D]]> Reloading Methodology Treeman https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/hoe-werk-geweerkruit/#post-5171
