Pencil Range

How far can a pencil grade reach? Last evening I'd use a bunch of grades to span the chart values. That left me wondering how I'd made certain assumptions about which grade to use where. What does this all tell me? Well, if I was going to be stuck with only one pencil I'd go for the 2H. Second choice would be a 4H for burnishing into the paper's tooth.
