I can't find a whole lot of info on this new powder. One vid on YouTube and it is very informative, but does not get into groups, just temp stability. I may get a pound to try if any can be located. The tests on utube showed it not to be as temp stable as H4350, but it may be a sub if another drought comes along. Anyone shot any yet?
Hodgdon has loads for it in a variety of cartridges.
About that video. What is said at the end is exactly what he said about H4350 Extreme when it came out so now all of a sudden it is his "go to" powder for comparison.
He should send his test methods and results to Hodgdon and request a recall and ask
for a refund. In fact, I think I will send it to Hodgdon for him and see what happens.
Contacted Hodgdon and sent them the video....interested to see what the response is.
I just found an in depth test by one of the members on the 6.5 Creedmoor forum. Very good stuff in it. https://www.65creedmoor.com/index.php?topic=11341.0
Yeah, that's probably Dave over there. He's pretty truth fullOriginally Posted by LuvmyLRP
on his research. And living in Northern, North Dakota, he's
got the temps for the test.....A few others I know including
myself need more time. I personally want to see how it stacks
up with H4831 and the 150 class bullets in the Creedmoor.

It does seem that Hogdon is revamping most of their products to give better temperature stability. That is one of the big reasons why I use Varget for so much of my shooting. The newer powders have the copper reduction in them, whatever that is. CFJunkie is the only person I know who has a lot of experience with both types of Hogdon powders and he seems to like how the newer stuff shoots.
