    burning rate chart

    anyone have the link to the burning chart that had the surplus powders on it. I had it and must have deleted it. Its the one that was very extensive and had the surplus and discontinued powders on it.

    Why are there gaps in the second chart?

    Not trying to drag up an uber old thread, just merely give my guess as to why the gaps exist. This is merely a guess, but maybe its for in the future a powder comes along (we'll call it "BRE") thats burns between ex: 49) SP 8 and 50) N340. This BRE would now be 50). And instead of the remaining 138 powders having to be renumbered, only one is. That's just my guess. And I'm only coming to that conclusion because it seems like having two sets of three empty slots 50 apart and one at the end is strategic.

    I could be totally wrong. I've got a GED and science was never my strong subject when I was in school so take it for what it's worth. Just trying to help, Tacoma.

    I like this one: http://gsgroup.co.za/burnrates.html It give one a much better idea how the powders relate to each other than does a simple numbering system.

    My personal guess is that they know that there are going to be new powders that come along sometime down the road and want room for them on the chart.

    I wish they just gave the physical dimensions of the powder grains, as well as size distribution and percent air space. That would be useful to me.

    This link does not work, comes back as error 404.
    Try being informed instead of just opinionated.

    The chart link in post #8 does work and is a nice chart. Alot of odd powders which are not generally available in the state of Texas.

    There are holes in both that come up when hit. First chart has HS-6 at line point 31 and again at point 57. Quite a variance for one powder. The last chart which is hilighted with color has 296 and H110 3 lines apart when indeed Hodgdon tells us they are the same. Several others there that I have in question.

    WARNING!
    The actual burning rate and position on this chart can be drastically altered by many factors including case size, bullet weight, expansion ratio, operating pressures, etc.

    Industry tests have shown that a powder's location on this list can shift by 5 - 6 positions or more, depending on conditions.

    This data was typical under the test conditions it was developed under but may not be true under your circumstances.
