[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2831788, member: 9299"] Nothing new. Ammo companies typically develop loads based on the powders they either produce or purchase that are, often, not considered canister grade, i.e. not meeting the specific parameters to be released as say H4350, 4895, H1000, etc, etc. Having access to pressure testing equipment and other, they then produce a suitable product to sell that meets a certain set of factory parameters. Its the reason when you find a specific factory load that works very well in your rifle, you need to buy several boxes of that same lot before it changes. Over the decades, I have bought hundreds of # of factory and mil surplus non-canister grade powders and developed some very good handloads simply based on the specified burn rate. Basically, what the factories do. [/QUOTE]
