Get Latest Powder Burn Rate Chart HERE
Hey guys, you’ll probably want to download this Powder Burn Rate Table issued by Hodgdon/IMR. This table shows the latest IMR powders including the Enduron series (IMR 4166, 4451, 4955, 7977), high-lighted in green below. This 163-entry comparison table provides useful information for all hand-loaders. When doing load development, and testing one powder versus another, it’s generally wise to choose propellants that share the same relative burn rate, as least for starters. This invaluable burn rate chart ranks powders from eight major powder-makers: Accurate, Alliant, Hodgdon, IMR, Norma, Ramshot (Western), Vihtavuori, Winchester.
NOTE: Hodgdon powders are blue, IMR standard powders are yellow, IMR Enduron powders are green, and Winchester Powders are Red. DOWNLOAD Chart HERE.

How old is this burn chart? It does not have RL15, 23 or 26.
Editor: This chart was released by Hodgdon late in 2017. And we checked and it is the latest available on Hodgdon’s website. You are right about RL23, 26. However Reloder 15 is number 100, very bottom of second column.
Reloder 12 is not made anymore.
Reloader 16 is not on the list amongst other missing in action powders.
ooops, I meant RL16.
Why no AR Comp?
This has been available for a while. I really appreciate they do this but wish more powders were included. It’s not like A2200 and AR-Comp are new, where are they? Both LT-30 & 32 are absent.
The Shooter’s World powders are not included either.
Alliant Extra-Lite? My last down load chart that I got I not know where, is dated 2016. This has no date?
I don’t see RL33 or Norma 217. Is there any intent on keeping this a current burn rate chart?
Can you put Alliant Reloader 16 into this chart?
Sir,
I am currently looking for an adequate rifle powder with a slower burn rate than the one that I am using for my.30-30 Ackley Improved. I desire to get the same performance or about from the 37 grains of IMR3031. The problem that I am encountering from this load is described in the following paragraph.
Problem: With exception to performance, fire formed cases are expanding at the base of the
case upon firing. This is causing much difficulty in extracting and ejecting the spent shell casing.
Question: Can I use an IMR powder with a slower burn rate at an increased load i.e. 38 – 39.4 grains (max) to get about the same performance as the 37 grains of IMR 3031 ?
I currently have on hand IMR 4350, IMR 4064 and IMR 4831. Which one of these would be adequate enough to get about the same performance as the 37 grains of IMR 3031 fired behind a 150 grain .30 caliber bullit?
Thank you

W748 seems to be too far down the list. Is this a typo? I’m a little confused.
I create test fixtures. So there is no real data here. This chart just tells me who is fastest and who is slowest, but not by how much. What is your method for determining Burn Rate? Is the burn rate Grains/Second, BTU’s? How is it measured? How much do these powders differ in their burn rates?
Vihtavuori N130 is listed as #77 and #82. I’m betting that #77 should be N120, which doesn’t appear in the chart, though I’d have expected it to be higher.
I believe that Silhouette is placed in an entirely wrong position.
I think it’s much slower than HS-6 but here it’s listed as higher.
The Western site has the chart with the correct position.
Not only that but here we have N130 listed twice and in 2 entirely different positions.
This is kinda useful, although if it were kept up to date and properly checked for information accuracy based on whatever methodology they are using to evaluate, it would be a very useful and appreciated quick reference card of powders… which is what I’ve thought it was suppose to be until I started seeing the editing mistakes, omissions and what more experienced reloaders than I have said about the questionable order.
With all the powders out there currently, I know it would be no small task, but I would love to see this list cleaned up and made relevant with current products and a defined methodology by experts.
VV N130 is on there twice (#77 and #82).
