Quickload - Varget & AR2208 Burn Rates

[ThunderDownUnder]

Can anyone who has a current version of Quickload please tell me what difference in Ba,burn rate) Quickload allocates for these powders.

I always thought there was no difference between the two but reading the article on this site it suggests otherwise. What Ba values are allocated for these two powders?

Is there a difference between them or is it just in the naming of the powder for different markets?

The creator of the program,Helmut Broemel) gets burn rate data directly from the maker,ADI) and from the USA distributor,Hodgdon). The data is slightly different thoughHodgdon says the powder IS identical. Werner has told me he thinks the ADI data is more reliable.,Could be the differences are just based on different quantities/production lots being tested).

I know, when using QuickLOAD to predict loads for my 6BR, it seems to work better if I select the ADI 2208 data. On the other hand the Hodgdon 4831sc data seems to work better for the .284 shooters than the ADI data... go figure.

QL lists both as .6150.
