[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2429803, member: 10755"] [USER=118038]@Veteran[/USER], What you are saying is as broad as the burn rate chart is. The OP is trying to use a burn rate chart to find a powder(s) that are clumped together to choose one to use. What I am saying is that even though those powders are clumped together in a group of so called similar burn rates, this is most likely not so DEPENDING ON CARTRIDGE SELECTION. Just because one powder company says that xxxx is RQ100, that doesn’t infer that xxxx is the same from another company. We all know through testing that IMR4350 IS faster than H4350…..the burn rate chart does not say this. This is my point. As I previously stated, forget the burn rate charts when selecting powders. Look at books, lots of them, and compare what top 3-5 powders are always at the top of the list and give high load density and the highest velocity. My mate uses Varget in his 30-06 for one simple reason…..it doesn’t require a case full of powder, he’s cheap and the performance is right for him, it goes bang and hits what he aims it at. This above is not efficient, but it works. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
