"Actually, Olin makes the powder for Winchester and Hodgdon. W-231 and HP-38 are also the same."

I'm glad you can keep that straight!

At one point weren't the powders made at Winchester's East Alton plant, but it was spun off to Olin a couple of years ago?

I always thought that was the case...

"231 and HP-38 are also the same"

But different in that either the deterrent coatings or the blending are a bit different, just enough so that the data should NOT be interchanged...

I think at one time Hodgdon also offered a 570 variant.
