What do we want?!  Load data!    When do we want it?! Now!

More fun for the spice rack.
Don't mistake my high post count for knowledge or wisdom.   I just like hearing myself type.

Anyone remember when Hodgdon said one of the reasons PB and IMR 7625 were being discontinued is that IMR stands for Improved Military Rifle, and they were returning to rifle-only?   ::)

So now that I've looked, it would seem Hodgdon is still a little irritated with Alliant for "Clay" Dot.  O0

IMR Target = Bullseye
IMR Red = Red Dot
IMR Green = Green Dot
IMR Unequal = Unique
IMR Blue = Blue Dot

Too funny.  ;D

Beat me to it.
I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

Right?  It's like someone mixed up their ad copy with their press release.

I'm glad they still include data for discontinued powders though.

Fixed it for them!

Seriously, though.  That's not just unoriginal, it could be dangerous if the powders aren't EXACTLY the same.  I remember when Ramshot changed the name of Big Boy powder to Magnum because they didn't want confusion between Big Boy and Big Game.  That was the responsible thing to do.  I still don't like the 97 varieties of Clays.

Yea, at least one of those could be re-named FOD

for "Flying Orange Disc".

  ;D

Expect more mistakes, my friend. I heard the Hodgdon Marketing Dept was able to get a great deal by hiring the HRC polling team after the election.
