Accurate 4350

[gandog56]

I went to a different gun store than I usually do to get some Accurate 4350. All he had was Accurate XMR 4350. Is it the same?

No, they are totally different powders. Similar in diameter, length, and color, but that is about it.

In my tests, AA4350 gave me essentially the same velocities for the same powder charge as IMR 4350. But not compared to H4350.

This is the closest comparison I have, same charge of powder gave significantly different velocities.

Hey Slamfire, are you replying to gandog(OP) or taliv?

Can't be mine. Nobody has told me if there is a difference between Accurate 4350 and Accurate XMR 4350 yet/

I did! You asked

Is it the same?

and I replied, Yes!. To clarify my answer, AA 4350 and AA XMR 4350 ARE the same powder.
