Measurements of range of 600 MeV/amu /sup 20/Ne, /sup 40/Ar, and /sup 56/Fe in a variety of absorbers have been made to test the accuracy of the higher-order Mott, Bloch, and polarization correction terms to the Bethe expression of stopping power. These corrections give an acceptable (<2sigma) fit to energies determined by time-of-flight methods. A dramatically improved (<1sigma) fit follows if the relativistic Bloch term has half its currently calculated magnitude.
