Assuming same barrel lengths, max loads, optimal powder selection, and any other assumptions necessary for a fair comparison.


The fireball is a greatly improved hornet: Faster, more accurate, better brass, and only burns a few more grains of powder to get there.

I've found RL7 to be a great powder, but I'm sure there are few others that will work just as well.
