Dumb Question of the Week

[Redmt]

I've wondered forever why one powder is more accurate than another when the same velocity is reached with both. Example 42.5 gr. of xyz powder reaches the same velocity of 43gr. of abc powder in the same cartridge, primer, bullet, coal, rifle etc. One powder will be measurably more accurate than the other when they are both recommended powder for the load.

 

[Addicting]

Even with same exiting velocity, it can have a different pressure wave timing, and that changes barrel harmonics.

Like addicting said, it’s just the pressure curve created by the propellant.

Daydreamer Believer by the Monkees & Welcome to the Jungle from Guns & Roses are both at 125 beats per minute.

But I think they're pretty different songs. So, that's my answer.

 

[Redmt]

Varying pressure curve makes sense.
I never liked Monkeys. It was all lip sync.

They're no NKOTB, that's for sure.

They're no NKOTB, that's for sure.

What’s next? Gonna try and tell me the Partridge Family was lip syncing too???

I think they used a teleprompter.

Daydreamer Believer by the Monkees & Welcome to the Jungle from Guns & Roses, and Farrah Fawcet's poster are both all three at 125 beats per minute.

But I think they're pretty different songs. So, that's my answer.

I'll allow it....
