if you look at the other powders in same way you will also see the pattern repeated the 2213 is the same..and again when gets to 162 it goes haywire.
spotting these things can save your arse.......if anything the 162grn powder charge should be fly shit lighter than the 160grn charge.

And this is why it is not a good idea to use data that does not specify the actual projectile used. Two years later Hodgdons repeats the same data for H1000 (same powder with a new name) and shows it to be a 162 grain Hornady SPBT a soft projectile.
