IMR4198/H4198 & IMR4227/H4227 Changes

[quickdtoo]

I emailed Hodgdon to confirm their intentions on the powders in question. Here's their reply..

Neither H 4198 or IMR 4198 is going to be discontinued. Both will continue to be manufactured where they currently are being made. H 4198 will continue to be Extreme.

The product name H 4227 has been discontinued. Future lots of IMR 4227 will be manufactured in Australia by ADI. While the color of the future lots will be the same as current lots of IMR 4227 future lots of IMR 4227 will be Extreme.

EDIT:

I just got another email from Dave Campbell at Hodgdon....

Tim,

After getting a couple more E-mails like yours I went and double checked my facts.

What I wrote you about H 4227 and IMR 4227 is correct. Also, H 4198 will continue in it's current form in the Hodgdon line as far as I can determine.

However, in the next year or so ADI will begin manufacture of IMR 4198.

I hope this clears things up.

UHHHHHHHHHHHH, so IMR 4227 will be the same as........nothing?  Well, wasn't having good results with H4227 anyway.  Guess that I will change.  

Dude, I really don't understand what he just said.
