I've been reloading over a year now, using Unique, 231, and pistol power.
9mm, 38sp, and .44
But here is something I just don't understand.
I know some powders burn a little faster than others. Some are much cleaner than others, and some are lighter or bulkier.
But we're talking about expanding gasses pushing a piece of metal down a tube.
Given the thought with proper adjustment in powders, you could probably obtain the same amount of pressure pushing the bullet through the barrel with almost any powder.
So if powder A at 6gr gives x amount of pressure, and powder b at 5gr gives the same amount of pressure, how can one be any more accurate than the other?
If this has been discussed, I apologize, but I'm very curious as to what's going on here.
