I know that to find a good bullet/powder combination pretty much comes down to what the gun "likes". However, there's got to be a little more science to it than that. When it comes to burn rates, all else being equal, can it be expected that a slower burning powder would be more likely to produce accuracy when pushing a heavier or lighter bullet for the caliber of rifle your working with?
All I really understand about burn rates is the slower the burn the longer it takes the bullet to travel down the barrel. So that does things to pressures obviously, but will it have a predictable effect on accuracy in relation to bullet weight?
