Powder substitution
Does anyone know if you can substitute AR2208 for Varget and IMR4064?.......or does someone have a load for the 7.65x53 using 125gr pills and AR2208?

AR2208 and Varget are the same powder. Varget is just AR2208 relabelled as Varget for the US market.

IMR4064 is a close equivalent powder to AR2208/Varget but is made by a different manufacturer.

Hodgdon loading data is just copied data from AR2208 so use Varget loads for AR2208, or go to the ADI website and download their ADI Powders Handloading Guide.

PM me your email and I can send you a PDF copy or I can send you just the data for the 7.65 x 53mm.

ADI do not have any recommended loads for AR2208, they only list AR2206, AR2206H, AR2209 and AR2213SC for bullet weights 150gr and 174gr.
