H4350 is my most used powder, my go-to in my competition rifles(260, 6.5CM, 6.5x47). This powder has proven very consistent with my loads, and very close to published data. My most recent purchase within the last month or so of a 10#x10 case produces velocities and actual shooting data that is equivalent to my prior lots going back at least a few years. I test new lots of powder with my Magnetospeed and a ladder test. I am generally suspect of results generated by optical chronographs. In the OP's case, I would try to confirm his velocities. I expect that if there was a change in the performance of H4350, I would have heard about it from buddies that, like myself, use a lot of H4350. I had read a while back that some shooters experienced a "hotter" performance of H4350, but I believe this pre-dates the "Extreme" formulation.
