9mm 115g and AA#7

It has always amazed me as to how different the burn rates are depending on whose burn rate chart that you read. When I compare my Hodgdon Burn Rate chart to the one that Sheepherder posted, they are way different. His lists BE as the fastest, and mine lists BE as #9, with others as faster, including Red Dot as #6. Winchester 231 is #23 with Unique being #25. HS#7 and Blue Dot are very close as to burn rates.

I guess one looks at many burn rate charts, and try to extrapolate the results. I would think that No. 7 might be a bit dirty when loaded low because it is such a slow powder, but if it works for you, then you have a winner.
