Default Different appearance of H4198

I just opened a new container of H4198. The powder is black in color vs the greenish color and the kernels appear to be longer and a smaller diameter than all the previous H 4198 that I have used. Has anyone using this powder noticed this change?

Your description sounds like IMR4198.

I have not heard anything about it changing, but until late last week I still thought that the earth was flat. Sometimes I'm the last person to know something.

Bring it by and compare to mine.

Think I have a full jug, most likely not opened yet

I seem to recall H4198 has been sourced from both Thales/ADI and GD Valleyfield (Dupont in CA) over the recent years

I’ve been loading IMR4198 this week and that what it sounds like. Matter of fact, all the imr4198 that I’ve ever loaded has been black. I also have a can of H4198 so I’ll check the difference when I get home.

This is a new Hodgdon container with the extreme powder label. I have sent an inquiry to Hodgdon but have not received a reply.
