Burn rate
Slightly slower than Accurate 2200, charted between Alliant Reloder 7 and IMR 4198.
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:
- Norma 200 (position 85)
- Accurate 2200 (position 86)
- Alliant Reloder 7 (position 87)
- IMR 4198 (position 89)
- Hodgdon H4198 (position 90)
- Shooters World SOCOM (position 91)

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.
