As the title says
Burn Rates of Smokeless powders
from IMR on the interweb:
this is from 2016, there is one from 2019 and perhaps a later version, which I will try to post later
I found it fascinating that Trail Boss burns faster than Unique...

After all, when all is said and done, and the pudding is inna bowl, it becomes useless trivia. Of no great material import. So long as one picks one that works.
Besides. I shoot APP. Lots and lots of APP. That Heathen Fad Smokeless Stuff is kind of passe in my lexicon. Not at all interesting. Smokeless requires careful measurement and selection to avoid nasty occurrences. APP or BP on the other hand just requires you stuff the case. Simple. Elegant. Effective. With no muss, no fuss, just go out and SHOOT. Besides. TrailBoss SUX and you can't get it anymore (I don't think). This missive hasn't contributed much to the original premise. Sorry about that (no I'm not). It's Sunday morning and I'm short on Caffeine and long on bored. So if you've read this far, here ya are. you must have been bored too!! Nanny Nanny Poo Poo

Ah My Dear Coffin -
But I am all about measurement and charts and spreadsheets and various datum ad infinitum!
I have acquired, but have not yet used, my first velocipede velociraptor chronograh ( not to be confused with
a timepiece).
If I can afford it I dearly want to get one of these newfangled PC based pressure measuring devices!
but I may need to find a new place to shoot first..
ikn the meantime I can examine the various data points betwixt "faster than " and "slower than" and correlate that
against the published veloicities and pressures of various loads m and then compare against some
results of prior experts in the field such as .44-40WCF ( Jack Christian) in his qwest to itemize and
quantify older loads....
cuz its fun

Ah yes. THE FUN!! That unquantifiable reason behind many endeavors. Fun. I was at one time very confused about that (fun, that is). Spent many hours sitting at a bench with a 40 pound rifle, trying to shoot insanely fast bullets into a single hole at ranges I couldn't even see the black spot with the nekid eye. Called it FUN.
Untold hours preparing the same 20 weight matched batch matched cartridge cases for precise loading and re-loading. FUN.
Then one unremarkable morning, I fired three rounds into one single hole. A ragged hole, but yet a single hole. After the euphoria wore off, I realized I had achieved the apex of my endeavor. Nothing left to achieve. No More FUN. Oh Boo Hiss.
So. The moral of the Story. There isn't one. It's Monday Morning. I am returned from Mouse Safari. I am bored, low on Caffeine and my Armory resembles an indoor swimming pool so I am also some depressed. No FUN.

While I appreciated the burn rate link, I'm enjoying this conversation even more! Please continue.
