I've heard of that one being really hard on throats yet by the temp ratings varget and h4895 are just a step down and they certainly get a lot of use in high volume guns.
I was under the impression the powder rate charts had to do with speed off propagation or the " burn rate" not how hot temperature wise it gets. Seems to be a known thing the V5 powders are double base and are hotter temp wise and can decrease barrel life whereas the V1 series are not. Or am I miss informed?

Correct, the chart that everyone miseads runs <Faster-Slower> It has nothing to do with burn "temperature". Like all the VV and other double-base high pressure powders, they will burn throats at an accelerated rate.

Another thing is that the chart can be quite misguiding
For example it shows that N540 is a bit slower than XBR but in Quickload and GRT it's very close (at least in Dasher/Grendel sized case).
Powder burn rates aren't linear and theres a lot of variables ( single, double base, flake, ball, granule size, density, temperature, effect when compressed, etc etc)
I'd never select a powder/charge just by looking at the chart.
The same company that is considering selling Lake City ammo to the Chechs? What a bunch of American hating, pice of shit communist they are turning out to be.

Yeah, cuz they're the only company that produce their powder with nitro lol, what a joke. If you didn't want to sell to the public, just say so, you don't have to make shit up. As if them hiking their prices weren't enough...
I bought enough of their shit when prices were ok, definitely not interested any more
