Powder Burning Rates

I know this has been discussed before but I can't find it. Is there a chart that shows the relative burning rates of the standard powders of the major manufacturers?

Specifically, I'm just curious how H1000 and Retumbo would compare to RL 22 and RL25.

Thanks,
Pete

according to hornady 6th edition, which lists all powders from fastest to slowest in order, your question is answered like this:

RL 22 = 109
H1000 = 113
RL 25 = 114
Retumbo= 116
