So I am experimenting with new loads for my DPMS LR 308, and I wanted to know the burn rate order of the rifle powders that I have on hand.
I looked in 3 different manuals and got 3 different answers.
What's up with that ?
From fastest to slowest; top to bottom; this is what I got.
1. IMR 3031 -------- 2. IMR 3031 ------- 3. IMR 3031
H Varget --------------- H 4895 --------- W 748
W 748 -------- ------ Reloader 15 -------- H 4895
H 4895 -------- -------- H Varget --------- H Varget
Reloader 15 ------------- W 748 --------- Reloader 15
H 4350 ----------------- H 4350 --------- H 4350
Reloader 19 ------------- Reloader 19 --------- Reloader 19
This may not look like much, but realize that some of these move through 15 to 20 spaces of other different powders that I do not own.
Column # 3 is the order that I expected to see, but the other two threw me.
Why the discrepancy ?
Which is correct ? or does it depend on things like case capacity, volume, load density, ect. ?
