Most loading tables seem to start from the bullet weight. Has anyone seen one that starts by powder type? I was given a bag of powder, 4 or 5 different cans of powder some almost full others about half. Each one is good for a pistol cartridge I reload but I was trying to find an easy way to optimize what I have.

I think I know what you are asking for Sam you want a burn rate chart?
Most reloading manuals have one in them like I'm sure my Sierra manual has it as well as the Ramshot powder website, take a look for it on the internet.
Good luck

Hi Sam,

This is a list of powders set out by speed.

Don't know if it's what you want but !!!

www.ammoguide.com has a selection tool that allows you to choose your specific powder, bullet type, bullet weight, et cetera to get right to the nub of what you seek. It's a pay site, but so worth the eighteen bucks a year it costs. It has over 20,000 loads for over 750 cartridges-- all tested and verified. I'm a member gettin' ready to re-up for the third time...

Thanks for the burn rate chart. Always good to have a another souce. I think ammo guide might do what I want.

The ammoguide Powder Application Guide does exactly what I am looking for. I might just have to cough up $19.
