Got my American "Similar to H4895 today".... its definitely not identical to H4895, so I assume it "burns like" H4895.. we will see when I get a chance to test it...
Here a picture i just took to compare them.. actual H4895 on the left, MP455 (Similar to H4895) on right.
They are completely different colors.. H4895 is a light tan....MP455 is a dark graphite grey..
H4895 has very consistent kernel shape and size... MP455 has inconsistent kernel shape and size...
We will see how it shoots and compares.

I know a guy who is friends with the guy who owns AR. He says sometimes they mix surplus powder and pressure test it until they get the burn rate they want. So some is direct clone and some is their own mix of surplus powder.
Yep...I have some rifle powders from them that are clearly two different powders mixed... thats annoying....
Also for anyone looking. They have Retumbo in stock.

I have a hard time believing AR would mix powders. There are recent posts where new and old lots of Varget look different.
It could also be something like RG4895. I had quite a bit of that back when Wideners would sell 8 pounders for $109. It shot really well.
First i heard that as well...but someone did before the jug arrived here.. my IMR4451 from American is stick and ball powder mixed.....
I have very old 15-20yr, 5yr old and brand new varget a month old. They all look exactly the same...
Its most likely commercial powder made to match burn rate and velocity of H4895.. these companies don't use powders we use...
