That's my theory anyway.

Might be a dangerous assumption from what serious Férs have found in the US. Apparently some batches of H4350 (2209) are significantly different .

As I understand it the volume of 2209 manufactured is much smaller than 2208.
2208 is almost continually manufactured therefore much easier to get consistency between batches.
2209 is manufactured in batches at different time, therefore harder to be consistent.

I was sharing my experience with 2208. I have found no significant difference between batches. Others may have.

Other shooters should always use their judgement and test for themselves.

I was wrong, it happens from time to time.

ADI reported in December ADI propellant update/
"AR2208, AR2209 – These propellants will be available in both 1kg and 4kg bottles for the foreseeable future and we have these propellants represented through the different stages of manufacture almost constantly."

Clearly some shooters find batches to be different.
