I see IMR and H 4350 compared as the being similar and interchangeable. What about Accurate Arms 4350.

The average man's love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty; and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies.

I have found AA 4350 to be equal to Hodgdon's version.. I find IMR 4350 to be more accurate than both of them, in a wide variety of calibers and a wide variety of bullet weights in those calibers...

A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him "Why do you carry a 45?" The Ranger responded, "Because they don't make a 46."

In my experience H 4350 is slightly slower burning than IMR 4350. Thus you can usually use a grain or two more of it in a given load than what you can use of the IMR powder. So in my opinion they should not be regarded as being interchangeable.

I have no experience with the AA 4350.

AA powers come from a number of sources so I never know what to expect. China, Chezh republic what next?
Sometimes they smell like ether as do IMR powders but the 2495 I have smells like phenol (moth balls)

From what ireload2 says here and because almost all powders vary somewhat from lot to lot and year to year for that matter, your question has no definitive answer.

Armed with this belief several years ago when Accurate 4350 was on super sale I bought what I thought to be a life time supply.It well may last also, because I bought a fair amount of DP 85 And Dp 86 which will curtail some of the useage of the 4350. lol beerroger
