I have a crazy question. Has anyone tried to use a really really slow powder like H870? If you used enough of it and a heavy bullet, you might be able to get some interesting performance without high pressures.

When you don't have H870 at full pressure it seems to burn much cooler. My 22-250 heats up much slower when I use it in my loads.
