Burn rate
A fast small-bore rifle powder, charted just past Norma 200 and ahead of Alliant Reloder 7.
Chart agreement: consistent, but single-publisher - ranked only by Hodgdon (and echoed by the Wolfe/LoadData compilation). No second manufacturer's chart carries it, so the position is uncorroborated. Ranked by: Hodgdon, Wolfe/LoadData.
Powders charted near it — neighbours on the chart are not substitutes, and adjacency tells you nothing about what charge either one takes:
- Accurate LT-30 (position 83)
- Hodgdon CFE BLK (position 84)
- Norma 200 (position 85)
- Alliant Reloder 7 (position 87)
- Accurate LT-32 (position 88)
- IMR 4198 (position 89)

Verify the charge, not just the recipe
Good data gets you a safe starting point. It does not tell you what actually went into the case on stroke 340 — a bridged measure, a double charge, a squib. That is what an RCM Laser Powder Check is for.
