There are several "burn rate" charts that list burn rates from fastest to slowest, but is their a chart that list "density" from lowest to highest ??
IE: if you took a set volumn of every powder and then listed them in the lowest measured weight to the set volumn ..

What you are looking for is in the LEE reloading manual.

Doc, Thanks .
Which of the fast pistol powders [faster then WW 231] has the highest loading density ??

You can download the VMD charts from Lee's website.

It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with List of elements by name, List of elements by symbol, List of elements by atomic number, List of elements by atomic mass, List of elements by melting point, List of elements by density, List of elements by melting point and List of elements by boiling point to List of elements

Trailboss stands out as a fast pistol powder that really fills up a case.
It is a great powder for light, low recoil loads.

They are the volume of 1 grain of powder in cubic centimeters. Multiply the number times the number of grains you want to use to find the LEE dipper that comes close to the powder charge you want.
