I was discussing 4166 with a friend at Hodgdon's a while back and he said that this
powder was intended to eventually replace my beloved 4064. My first thought was
horror at the eventual loss, at some still distant time, of a powder that has helped
me win a lot of nice shooting medals over the years, and made some really nice
groups.
I am thinking about buying a pound of the new stuff and keeping an open mind.
My insider says this is really good stuff, will vary velocity much less with temps
and should be a real winner, but not a direct substitute by weight, of course.
Any wisdom out there about this number?
