Anyone have one from 2019 or going into 2020?...most of the charts that I have are a couple of years old.
Updated powder burn rate chart
- Thread starter buckshotbarlow
- Start date
I only see the Hodgdon color chart from 2017: https://www.hodgdon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/burn-rate-color.pdf
I'm sure I could collect the data and keep an updated PDF online...but I'm WAY too lazy for that....especially with everything else I'm trying to keep up with in life.
same problem here...trying to keep up with the latest and greatest this or that for powder can make you go bald...
Burn rate for RL26 in QL is way off, so no it doesn’t have the answer. I did find a post somewhere where someone did use QL to make an updated chart just not accurate for RL26 and I believe rl16 is wrong too.
It takes a lot to test these, comparatively, in a lab. There is a general understanding that the consumer can interpolate "where and when" to use a certain powder. Even lot-to-lot variations can move a powder around the chart a few entries.
Here is a link to the new powder burn rate chart from Hodgdon. There are 13 more powders listed than the previous version.

The most comprehensive smokeless powder burn rate chart I have found. It's not as easy to read as Hodgdon's, but it appears more inclusive. I found it at http://www.theballisticassistant.com/powder-burn-rate-chart/
I was a little surprised that the IMR 8133 is closer to RL 33 than it is to Retumbo, although I have found IMR 7977 to be closer to Retumbo than H1000. YMMV from lot to lot.

That's what the new chart I just found shows compared to the November 2019 chart that Hodgdon released. I have personally found that my lot of IMR 7977 is slower than the Hodgdon chart suggests. It is more like Retumbo than H1000.
My 7977 was almost identical to H1000.
And I would definitely class R26 as a bit faster than both.
