    thanks for that @kiwijames.

    the question is, of course, if they're not charge equivalents, how does one transpose them ??

    They are a rough guide for burn rate not exacts (except the ADI - Hogdon equivalents as posted by KG, exact same powder only a packaging/branding difference).
    TBF I do not know the exact differences but I'd expect across manufacturers the load densities will be different creating very different results. With 10s of thousands of PSI a few inches from your face I'd suggest to err on the cautious side.

    FYI H4350 is not same same as H414 (stick vs ball) but H414 are W760 are the same powder in a different tin.

    Hey Toby as James said, they will be different batches so you will need to check your loading a the least when changing between.

    Actually who all checks their loads when they swap batch numbers? I know I do
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
