New H100V Change?

[DoneNOut]

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.

Which blend?

Terrible, horrible, ugly stuff. As you know, I am a generous fella so I will help you out and properly dispose of it for you in my hazardous waste disposal system called 300WSM. Safe and secure. I might use it as a fuel to properly remove copper and or lead from loaded rounds.

Two best powders for me in 300WSM are H100V and Alliant TS16.

I almost got rid of my 300WSM until I used H100V in it. Best powder hands down for my rifle. Best ES SD on 165-180 gr loads. Very under rated powder. Until now.

I have some H100V that I purchased appx 8-9 years ago. It is 100% extruded, very small but extruded.. Works great in my 7/08 with 140-145 gr bullets.

How's the temp stability

So, I guess one won't now what they're getting until they open H100V. At least we have identified there are two types and know the extruded version is possibly .5gr slower and bulkier fill of the case.

How's the temp stability

Reality is it is not listed by Hodgdon as temp stable so its prob going to have swings depending on ambient conditions of the load development versus ambient conditions when shot. 90% of my shooting is Sept-May here in MI so I don't worry too much about it. I pick my days. Standard practice for me even with IMR powders. It has been good for my use. Really good velocity, good ES SD. I like the case fill as well.

Does any one have pictures of the "new"stuff?

My new stuff: Small gray & greenish extruded

 

[Justice1327]

Definitely different.

Mine looks like Gingerman's sample but shiney grey small extruded.

My older lot looks the same.

Fron a Guns and Ammo article:
"In the early 2000s, St. Marks Powder developed an extruded stick propellant that used the Ball powder production process and resulted in double base, high energy and highly progressive stick propellant. Hodgdon Hybrid 100V is one of these propellants."
