    funny you say that GPM as the .444 loads my old ADI manual is 4 grns less than the Hodgdon equivilent of the two powders listed above.....
    that old ADI manual is the very first edition paper one..has some really weird loads EG 2206 in .270w (it worked ok but very low volume fill)
    75/15/10 black powder matters

    Greetings,
    The old ADI/ Mulwex data is all over the place with little, if any of it having been pressure tested. There were still some of the super hot loads in their manual as late as 2000. ADI started working with Hodgdon to supply their powders around 1990 and perhaps earlier. The online ADI data still has some of the old stuff but is easy to spot. There is no pressure data and the inclusion of AR2206, AR2213 and other obsolete powders hint at its reliability. I regret the loss of AR2206 which, to me, was a better powder for the .223 than AR2206H, its replacement. Some new data has appeared for AR2206 in current ADI listings for some .223 and .308 projectiles so perhaps it is still available in bulk to target clubs shooting FTR. Handloading becomes more complex the more you learn.
    Regards Grandpamac.
