From AccurateReloading's burn rate chart:

Burn rate is between Accurate 2230 and Winchester 748.

Great powder. I miss it. Easy to ignite, clean burning and very consistent. From an original Scot Brigadier loading pamphlet:

Brigadier 3032: A medium but cooler-burning single-base tubular powder approximately 1-2 grains faster than IMR3031. Also similar to H322. Ideal for many benchrest applications. Formerly Herter's 102. Extremely accurate.

I can vouch for all that. I have a half pound left of my original stock of B3032, and also have a full can of Herters 102. It is fabulous in the 223-class of cartridges.

Great in a 45-70 with a 430gr paper patched too.

See below. I have this in a Word document, but it's too big to attach and my attempts at editing got me nowhere. Send me a PM with an email address if you want it a little more legible, or just let me know which calibers you're really interested in. 4th Ed. Scot Powder Co. reloading manual.
