Burn rate chart

[gunmutt]

Anybody know where I can find an updated burn rate chart that includes all the new powders?

 

[ShootDots]

I have been trying for awhile now to find one.. I don't believe one exists as of yet..

 

[gunmutt]

I just want to know where RL23 and RL26 fall compared to other brands. I have used H4831sc and N560 and want to know how close the new RL powders are to them

 

[ShootDots]

I have worked fairly extensively now with RL-23. I believe it is just a tad slower than RL-19. It is not as slow as RL-22, guaranteed! It is NOT as slow as H4831 and N560 is 1/2 shade slower than H4831 in my experience with it. Judging from people who I know tht have worked with RL-26 it is in the same burn rate vicinity of IMR 7828 and VV N165.

So you would say RL 23 falls between h4831 and h4359

You mean H4350? Right? If you do, then yes it is right in the middle of the 2..

 

[Lefty Trigger]

Here's the latest I found and it has most of the new powders.

This is an older Hodgdon chart that has NONE of the new powders in it..

I am hoping it leans closer to H4831sc

ADI one is good

ahh missing some new powders , bugger

If you go to the Alliant load data site, and compare RL-23 with the same cartridges and the same bullets with RL19, you will see just how close they are. Then go compare it on their site, with RL-22 and virtually every cartridge where they use the same bullets, RL-22 is AT LEAST a grain more powder. It can NOT be slower.. But I think it (RL-23) is closer to H4831sc than it is to H4350.. Like I said, go to their load data and see just how close it is to RL-19.

I have replaced Re22 with Re23 and use nearly the same charge. Different powder burn rate charts often have the same powders in different orders. The powder burn rate charts are all relative and I would guess individual cartridges having different capacities and pressures would change the burn rate order. Re23, cheaper than Re22 at my LGS, has sort of become one of my standby powders and I use it in .243, 6.5-06, .280, .300 Win, 6mm AI.

The new Hornady manual, 10th edition, has a relatively up to date powder burn rate chart but new powders are developed as fast as the powder burn rate charts can fit them in and be printed.

I am looking forward to trying Re16 as H4350 is real scarce - what the world really needs is another 4350 type powder.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised trying RL-16 in place of H4350. I have found it to be very nearly identical "load for load" to H4350. AND you have the benefit of some additional velocity!

Ten four on this. I had the same experience.

Agreed! Just piling on.

Nvreloader, Posted a chart I believe it was from quick load. Date July 30, 2016

This from fastest to slowest.

IMR 4350= 0.5120
H4350 = 0.5130
RL 17 = 0.4700
VIHT N550 = 0.4650
RAMSHOT HUNTER = 0.4580
H 414 = 0.4529
IMR 4831 SC= 0.4421
H4831SC = 0.4301
RL 23 = 0.4090
RL-22 = 0.3860
IMR 7828SC = 0.3841
RL 25 = 0.3840
H1000 = 0.3660
RL 26 = 0.3397
H RETUMBO = 0.3370
VIHT 24N41= 0.2990
H870= 0.2750
H869= 0.2735
H 50MG = 0.2705
RL 33 = 0.2670
RL 50 = 0.2170

There was 3 pages which started at Hodgdon Clay = 6.700

He is a member maybe He could repost.

They keep listing RL26 as slower than H1000 but I run into pressure at much lower velocity than H1000 in my 6.5 saum with 150 matrix. I would expect to run out of room before pressure if it was slower. It was a real disappointment.

Where is reloader 16 on the burn rate chart compared to H4350? I didn't see reloader 16 on the chart anywhere.

I don't believe it is>>>However, I have had enough dealings with both to know that they are so close in burn rate as to be almost indistinguishable..

Hmmmm.... I have a good bit of r16, I'll have to try it after the next 600 yd competition next week. Good to know.
