[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2284673, member: 10755"] RE26 is faster than Retumbo, yet around the same as H1000. RE25 and Retumbo are almost identical in performance and RE25 yields higher velocities in most cases. These roles can reverse depending on cartridge size. Burn rate charts are a guess at best. There is no set standard to base the RQ numbers off of….so each manufacturer chooses a powder as their BASE RQ NUMBER POWDER and give it a RQ100, for example, IMR uses 4895 as their RQ100 powder and everything faster gets a higher number and everything slower gets a lower number. ADI, who makes the Hodgdon line, uses AR2206 as their RQ100 powder, yet this is no longer made and production went to AR2206H, which is the Hodgdon H4895 powder equivalent but is actually faster than the original AR2206. Confusing? You bet! Cheers. [/QUOTE]
