New H100V Change?

[DoneNOut]

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

So, we got 3 variations of H100V?

1. Ball powder mixed with extruded (like the Hodgdon official description says)
2. Small gray extruded
3. Small gray & green extruded

PITA to have developed sweet loads in 708 and again in 708AI, only to order an 8lbs keg and it show up different... That's my luck!

Well it's one of my favorite powders as well and I'm out so I reckon I'm gonna be in the same boat

If you do enough research you will discover that most commercial grades of powder is either 1) a blend of multiple lots of the same powder to reduce the lot to lot variations in its specification or 2) a mixture of different powders to achieve a specific pressure/burn rate/energy profile.

If you look at ball powder you will often see a difference in kernel shapes and dimensions. In extruded powders it's often a difference in kernel length. Powders like these are blends of different powders blended to meet a specification. You can mix fast and slow powders to vary the initial rise in pressure( fast burning) and lower the peak pressure (slower burning).

Here's mine to compare.

This has got my attention.
I have been seriously looking at this powder to try in my 7mags and 300 win.
It sounds strange to me that they would completely change the design of the powder without saying something about it, or am I just being silly?

Oh no, "they" will do it.

. 90% of my shooting is Sept-May

I feel bad for june July and August.

I have an old Mauser sporter in 270 WIN that never shot very accurately with any powder that I tried. Recently got a jug of the H100V and decided to try it with 130 grain bullets which was what it shot best with previously. WOW! it shot consistent 1/2 MOA groups. So, I tried 150 grain pills that it would not shoot at all. Well, once again it shot 1/2 MOA groups! I tried it in a 7mm Chilean Mauser and it also shot great. For the record, my version is 100% tiny extruded kernels.

Dang it! There goes another powder AWOL!

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.

The way I read the Hodgdon description of H100V I don't believe there ever was Balls in the extruded powder. The way I read it they simply used the chemistry of ball powder but made it into an extruded one. Maybe you got something that was contaminated. A call to Hodgdon might be a good thing to do. JMO

The old H100V. The ball powder/spherical, globular…

I am most certainly not questioning you having ball in you H100V, but should they be there. Hodgdon would know this.
