    I did a wee bit of looking into this, last night.

    All the tables I checked were consistent with each other and adi and h4895 data were identical. Imr was constant across; lee loader load data sheet, Richard Lee Modern Reloading and the Hodgson's website.

    That said Hodgson bought IMR in '03 and potentially they are still using old data? Modern Reloading and the lee loader would likely have pre'03 data.

    One observation, imr4895 is faster on paper with a higher don't exceed level. If you went Over the adi don't exceed level wouldn't you get similar speeds?

    Also, I haven't poured any imr out yet but could the imr have a different cut length or grain size creating a different burn rate?

    Possibly dumb questions from a newbie but my 2c. I have the powder now so I'll find out. Surely the difference won't be massive and the deer don't prefer adi over imr....
