Konocti's Wigwam Wrote:@LRRPF52 I was more asking a general question on substituting powder and if you pick a powder that is next to each other, or 2 slots away, in theory doesn't that mean they have almost the same burn rate?
About 6 months ago it was almost impossible to get 1680, so I bought CFEBLK as I could get it and it was only 2 slots away on the burn rate chart. I bought it with the intention to use as a 1680 replacement. Does that make sense, or would you use something other than burn rate to select powders?
I personally always check all the published data for a cartridge from as many sources as I can find before buying a powder.
If there isnt any pressure-tested data for it and the bullet Im using, then I dont use it.
