Here's an interesting comparison of Goex, KIK, and Elephant powders. Its a fairly limited test, with only a few guns, and a few shots each to establish some figures, but all the guns were tested identically.
Screening the powders to rid them of "fines", and making the granules a more uniform size will change the velocity( usually improve it), and make the powder burn more cleanly, for instance. And, we all understand that different guns have different bore and groove dimensions, so adjusting powder charges up or down can produce the same MV with one powder as with another powder, in another gun.
But, this is an interesting read. :hatsoff:
