    We're OK if all 4895 brands are single base, with a very similar density log style, and within 5 percent of burning characteristics. There are all kinds of powder formulations made close to the 4895 speed designation that any more than a 5 percent variance from the standard would be way too much. Those powders must be called something else entirely to keep life off the ragged edge. ... felix

    I can tell you in the testing I done for myself Felix that they are frightening close.

    After giving it a lot of thought, I decided to just say, "yep, you must be right" to any and all idiotic statement made.

    If someone points to Nightshade and ays "Those look good" I just say "Yep, you must be right, need a bag to put them in?"

    But seriously, I totally agree.

    A saying I heard once:

    Never argue with an idiot. all they do is bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
