185 1.210" No.5 10.2gr 1102 19,900cup

From this published data [all I believe taken at Accurate Arms] one can see a range of Velocity per powder from only 108 feet per second per grain to 104 fps/gr.

Also pressure per powder ranges from 1950 cup/gr to 2648 cup/gr

This is why I use AA#5 as a standard for loads that are the minimum to cycle and action with a given recoil spring set.

Also because of it's energy per unit volume, it has the widest range of loads for semi auto pistols of 12 powders I have tried.
