h414 powder

[brianlt21]

I am told that h414 and w760 are identical powders but in my manual, do I just start with the lowest load for w760 if I intended to use h414 or do I start lower than that?

Both H414 and Winchester 760 powder are identical twins with different names, and therefore the load data is identical for both. "Both powders" are made on the same production line in St. Marks Florida plant. The key words are "Distributed by Hodgdons Powder Company.

It gets even more complicated............

70% of Remington-DuPont IMR powders are made in Australian by ADI a French owned company and 30% of the Remington-DuPont IMR line of powders are made in Canada by General Dynamics Weapons Division.

As you can see above the entire Winchester line of powders is made by St Marks which is also owned by General Dynamics Weapons Division.
