Can someone list these powders from the coolest burning to the hottest???

I am trying to figure out which is the "Coolest" burning powder of the ones I have on hand. Thanks guys!!!

I have HV100, H4831SC, H1000, H4350, IMR7828SC
 
If you have not bought powder as of yet. The C-O-O-L-E-S-T burning powder of ANY powder, is VV N165. It is right between IMR 7828 and H1000 on the burn rate chart. So, if you are looking for COOL and want a powder in the same range as those listed, get VV N165!
 
Your question of cool is a relative , confusing term . The length of time that the barrel is subject to is just as important , also as you see from above , the temp is weight related , so if you need x # of grains of a hot faster powder versus a x+ of a slower cooler powder nothing can be gained . You obviously have an over ore cartridge so shoot what is the most accurate and think of barrels as tires on your car . You replace them or get a new car . Just my .02
 
Thanks Guys. dmoran and shootdots knew what I was looking for and answered my question. I know the burn rates, that is why I asked to try and find out about the powders that burn "Cooler" or that would be easier on barrels. I had heard that HV100 was as "Cool" burning as H1000 but could not remember where I had read that so thought some of you guys might know.. Appreciate the replies and if anyone knows where HV100 falls in the list would appreciate a update even though I haven't found anything that it really shoots well in. Thank again guys!!
 
Does someone have a list of the heat of expansion rates? I opened the excel sheet, but I am unable to hover/move over to see other powders to get the numbers?
