[QUOTE="Country Bumpkin, post: 1669207, member: 92230"] Okay, I searched LRH with no results, but found this in the land of google. [URL]https://www.shootersforum.com/handloading-procedures-practices/54415-imr-4831-vs-h4831.html#/topics/54415[/URL] The second post gives a “history” of the variance between the two. Basically IMR burns a tad faster because it’s built off the original specs, Hogdon was spec’d after the at-then burn rates of old surplus powder of the same original design. Just how close are we talking here? During load development my buddy had a smidge of IMR 4831 laying around and graciously gave it to me. In trying that out I think I discovered a great load for my 7 RM pushing 160 AB’s. I don’t want to buy a whole pound of it just to run some seating tests.... but then I found another buddy that offered up his 1/3 pound of H4831. Am I wasting my time thinking that I’ll get similar results? Is it really going to burn that much slower than the IMR? [/QUOTE]
