[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 476200, member: 15748"] A slight correction here; the EXT is for Extreme, Hodgdon's designation of their powders designed to deliver reduced temperature sensitivity. The entire line of IMR powders, and well over half of Hodgdon's, are single base extruded tubular, and need no seperate distinction to mark them as such. Correct on the SC, however. This was done to diferentiate the "short cut" kernals from the original powder which still remain(ed) on the market. Same stuff, essentially, but cut to a different (shorter) length to allow then to operate through a measure more easily. If you've ever tried running the older batches of 4831, 4350 or even far worse 3031 or 4198, they're a real pain. [/QUOTE]
