Initially H1000 was made by Nobels in Scotland. This continued for a while after the other Hodgdon stick powders started to be made by ADI. Around 2000 ADI started making H1000 which they called AR2217. About this time the speed of some of the other ADI powders were changed to better line up with the Hodgdons existing powders. Some got new numbers and suffixes and some did not. AR 2208 was the only one that stayed the same. and was introduced as Varget. I said has been made not is made.

Ok we are talking pretty historical here which is why I didn’t pick up on it i was 11 years old when noble stopped making it
I think it’s pretty safe to assume that any H1000 arround these days is relabelled 2217
Especially since any new powder on the market is going to be adi made
I personally wouldn’t use 23 year old powder anyway ( I know if stored correctly it’s ok but how can you Guarantee that unless you have had it from new)

I thought you meant currently in production with two Manufacturers meaning batch to batch consistency could be a bit all over the place
