[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2699960, member: 116181"] Ranges are just a way to group powders from different manufacturers that in theory burn have similar rates. It's trying to describe cross-compatible substitutes. H1000 "range" powders are what's near it on the chart - Ramshot Magnum, RL 26, Accurate Magpro, N570. Typically load manuals list powders in burn rate order from fastest to slowest, but that's a crap shoot because there's no standardization for burn rates. I prefer to pick one powder brand and move up and down their relative burn rates - I like the Hodgdon Extreme line, so if I can't get H1000 I'll either move slower to Retumbo or faster to H4831 instead of trying different manufacturers. If that costs me some FPS to keep accuracy, that's fine with me. H4831 has been readily available now, and Hornady has load data for it with the 162gn bullets. [/QUOTE]
