Learned Sirs and Ma'ams,
Is there any way to predict or calculate what loads and of what powder will burn 100% in a given barrel length?
Or, is there any extensive source for this info, even if derived experimentally?
I will be taking care of some predating coyotes in the evening/dark, and will be using an 8mm Mauser sporter carbine; that has a night vision scope on it. I want to keep the flash to a minimum so that the scope dimming is not too limiting (or if it can be eliminated...)
The rifle has no flash hider, and no threaded barrel; and I dont want to go that route- esp if I can achieve it with proper load data.
I know that I can use "the Load" (13gr Red Dot and normal-for-caliber-weight cast bullets) and other reduced or "cat sneeze" loads using fast powders. I will use these loads only if a load that approximates full power, range, and trajectory cannot be achieved with complete powder burn.
Many Thanks,
C-
p.s. if someone is willing to run a Quickload calculator for me, how i should phrase the question so the program can work with it? What i mean is,
would it be able to tell me an answer in a question phrased with barrel length the variable, or with powder charge the variable? or something else?
examples:
Multiple-Powder charge variable: With 8mm Mauser chambering and 200gr projectile, and 20" .323 barrel, how much of each powder gives 100% burn?
Single Powder charge variable: With 8mm Mauser chambering and 200gr projectile, and 20" .323 barrel, how much of IMR-4895 gives 100% burn?
Barrel length variable: With 8mm Mauser chambering and 200gr projectile, and 45gr of IMR-4895, how long a .323 barrel is needed to give 100% burn?
