Greetings Padox,
AR2213 is a little faster than AR2213SC/ H4831SC and a little slower than IMR4831. It was manufactured from about 1986 and discontinued about 2000 but the last powder was likely made earlier than that. You will likely struggle to find much data for it and none of it will be recent. There was some data in the ADI November 2000 Handloaders Guide including some that is extra hot to dangerous. Lawn fertilizer perhaps?
Regards Grandpamac.

the SC stands for short cut.....it wouldve been more accurate label if had been CS for cut shorter..the logs of powder for want of better term are cut into shorter rings...to continue wood analogy..... it metered better and one particular market??? asked for it so it became the norm.... Ive had old 2213...and have data for it.... new 2213SC AND OLD H4831 and actually some dupont 4831 THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU Grandpamac cause you confirmed what I thought...its just plain ol h4831........before it got the h......I had tested it in loads in poohseventy BEFORE the fatal cockup and it preformed same as my 2213sc and h4831...now before you get all hot under collar....I was confident it was 4831 and to best of my knowledge there is only two types,it looks just like my H4831...strangely enough with 140grn weight in poohseventy either type of powder runs similar charge weight..so I picked start for hotter which was middle ground for other....loads were fine... and still are.
