Just curious on "precision" reloading for handguns...one of those beloved "Why" posts....
What makes some powders more accurate than others? -- is it really the pressures that they build behind the accuracy? If so then in theory all powders are as accurate as each other if you can safely match pressure for pressure? Or is it...who cares just use the cheapest stuff b\c you aren't that good of a shot anyways!
Does a longer COL in 10-25yds handgun shooting really make a noticeable difference? -- When tweaking for better accuracy does anyone play with the COL?
Is a gun really going to prefer one bullet weight over another? I often read members posting "my gun is more accurate with a 124gr bullet than a 115gr bullet" -- is the bullet weight really the reason behind the better accuracy or is it a combination of things and the shooter just so happened to dial in the right pressure/bullet weight combination for his/her gun?
Thanks!
