New H100V Change?

[Coyote Shadow Tracker]

We have several large cabinets with 300+ #s of powder stored.
Last month or so I was moving one of the cabinets with temporary dollies and it fell over on me. Since then, we relocated and stored (in nice cabinets) the powders by type and lot numbers.

We have several 8#s of H-100 that we got "JUST BECAUSE". (never know when you might need it for a special cartridge).

We basically use H-4895 in .204 and .223 then H4350 in a variety from .243 to .325 WSM. then, Varget for 6mmBR competition & Retumbo for .338LMAI. ELR.
Company.
Also stocked up a Reloader-26, and H-1000 for Magnums/ (Still waiting to use these powders in some cartridge)

CFE223 for .204 and 223. But never used it. Would like it to work as good as H-4895 in .223 & .204.

H-4895 was the start of HODGON Powder Company.
Bruce "B.E." Hodgdon Started Hodgon by purchasing a Railroad Car full of H-4895. Back then in the WWIII h-4895 was used in the 30.06 and other cartridges.
Just think Bruce invested his money in a "Box Car" of Hodgon powder and started an empire worldwide!!!!
Back then he would only sell "BARRELS" full of H-4895 to some retailers and some newly Cartridge Manufacturing Companies.,

The H V-100 is pushing the 108 eldm at 3220 fps in my 243 with a 29" Krieger barrel. Twist is 7.7

I have a pound of H100V from 2019 that I quickly shelved since my .280AI did not get along with it. It's the tiniest extruded powder that I've seen. Gingerman has me pondering about it in my 7-08. Seems like it's never ending but I don't mind.

The four shot group measured .03 at 100 yds. It was about 150 pfs faster than anything that I saw in the books.

Well, I'm glad I got 8lbs of this newest version!

A very small extruded powder.

Mine is small shiny extruded and also about 2-3 years old.

So, @46gr H100V: 708AI

Old: 2843fps ave (A lot of ball powder visible)
New: 2795fps ave (All extruded)

Pretty much what I expected. Gonna stuff .5gr more of the new and see if I can get 2840s.

I sure hope they didn't dilly with the powder mix. I have a couple really good loads with the small extruded form.

Looking forward to testing H4350 and 100V in a 243 for the grandkids hunts in the near future. Sounds like both are going to be pretty good choices to start with development.

Well, they did. I think it could be for the better. Extruded powders, even outside of the extremes, have better temp stability than ball powders. If all I need to do is fill a case to slight compression by .5gr and get same velocities at probably better ES/SD because of the full fill...let her eat!

The 3 cartridges that I've used 100v successfully in are the 243, 7-08 with heavies, and it is my current flavor in the 300WSM under 175gr LRX, very underrated IMO.

Is there two versions of H100V??
I was not aware and is it another product #.
