Isn't Magnum a slow burning powder, ooman, better suited to big, hefty rounds, or is that something else we have got wrong ?

I've used loads if ramshot powders there great! Used wildbore, big game, magnum and tac.

Burning rates. I used Ramshots suggested charge weights taken from there reloading data. Ill probably try Hunter next time in the 6.5.

I'm going to start with magnum in my 243 using 115 DTAC's. Quick load predicts this will give the highest speed and still burn about 98% in a 18" barrel :) if that doesn't work hunter will be my next powder to try! :)
