Why is one powder supposedly more accurate than another?
First off this is not about someones favorite brand of powder.
With all the makes, brands of powder out there I would think that powders of similar burn rates would be equal (accuracy wise)regardless of who makes it, They all have the same science or chemistry, there are no real secrets in the making of powder.
Some manuals have the "most accurate load/powder" so lets go with that, all other things exactly equal. Same gun in a ransom rest, same primer, same brass same bullet.
So if powder A delivers x velocity. And Powder B also delivers X velocity. The velocities are the same and lets also say the powders measured may be of course different weights but similar burn rates and the pressure is the same give or take the variable of different burn rate but within the range of the cartridge. Lets say max pressure to make it easy.
So we have both powders yielding X velocity or FPS and the same internal pressure.
Would not accuracy then be determined buy the gun barrel and the coefficient of the bullet? They are both going the same speed.?
Again this not a "I like this powder or that powder" tying to keep it "generic"
To me powder burns, produces pressure and the bullet moves. Powders of similar burn rates also do it it in the same amount of time (to burn)
Once the bullet is out of the barrel how can the powder be an influence on accuracy??
