Hodgdon rant

If anyone else has been keeping tabs, Hodgdon has been killing off the Winchester powder line for years now.
Go to their site and look up loads for the 223 & 308. Specifically look at Win 748!! Or notice that they keep(relativly) new pressures/loads for H414, but not Win 760. Those two powders are THE SAME.

Now they have a press release about a new powder CFE223. They claim to have finally brought us a copper fouling fighter that was developed by the military. What they don't tell you, is that copper fighter(a tin compound) has ALREADY been in Win 748 & 760 for SEVERAL DECADES!

I really wish Ohlin would liscense the Winchester products to a company who would actually support the brand.

If they're the same, why does it matter what label is on it ?

Which two powders are the same?

It wouldn't matter a whit except that the Winchester labeled powder usually sells for less $$$.

Win760 and H414. Win296 and H110. There are a couple of others across other brands as well.

Try Powder Valley. Hodgdon is cheaper in all of the above, and HP-38 vs W231
