Hodgdon Equivalents for ADI Powder Codes
Many of the most popular powders sold under the Hodgdon brand in the USA (including Varget and H4350) are made by ADI Ltd. in Australia. Some load manuals list ADI data, but not Hodgdon data, or vice-versa, so we’ve compiled this list of equivalent powders. If you can’t find a recommended load for a particular Hodgdon powder in your caliber, download the latest ADI Smokeless Powders Handloaders Guide, a 2.8 megabyte Acrobat file.
Here’s a list of ADI to Hodgdon Powder equivalents:
| AS30N=Clays AP50N = (No Hodgdon) AS50N = International AP70N = Universal AP100 = (No Hodgdon) AR2205 = H4227 AR2207 = H4198 AR2219 = H322 Bench Mark1 = (No Hodgdon) Bench Mark2 = BenchMark |
AR2206 = (No Hodgdon) AR2206H = H4895 AR2208 = Varget AR2209 = H4350 AR2213 = (Discontinued) AR2213SC = H4831 AR2217 = H1000 AR2225 = Retumbo AR2218 = H50BMG |
Hi
Can you let me know what is the replacement powder for WC846 on the market ?

I want to use ADI AR2208 but have powder references for Varget…are they the same powder or just a close equivalent?
I want to use equiv of 36.1gn Varget in 2208, should i try 36.1 of 2208 or less?
The ADI max load is 36.5gn for 55gn Proj
Rifle is Ruger M77 Mk11 22.250, 55gn Spitzer
Thankyou, G
Should work just fine but, why not start 5 or 10 .2 grain increments lower and work back up. Some rework loads when lot numbers of a powder work. Keep us posted. Equivalent means it is equal not close to
