If you want to believe that 748 is a very different powder than H335, feel free.
Maybe so, but there's the kicker- I don't want it to be a "very different powder". I want it to be just a LITTLE different. And if "they will differ in burning rate slightly", then I'm fine with that- I'm only fine tuning here anyway and that IS a little different.
I'm concerned about H335/748 vs. BL-C2, not necessarily 335 vs 748. It's obvious by just looking at it that they're all pretty similar stuff. They look the same, feel the same, etc. I can buy that H335 and 748 are the same, but my experience says that BL-C2 and H335/748 shoot a LITTLE differently. Why would Hodgdon bother packaging BL-C2 and H335 separately if they were the same?
Finally, every reloading manual that I have calls for about 1 grain less of 748 than BL-C2. If they're exactly the same, then why is that?
Example, from Sierra:
748 27.2
BLC-(2) 28.5
