Happened across two cans off this today. Hodgdon says (right hand side of the page)it's the same as HS-7 although most of the burn rate charts I looked at showed at least a couple places between HS-7 and W571.

Anyone know for sure if it is the same powder? No problems using HS-7 data?

Thanks
 
It is the same powder made by Olin.

As any given powder may vary from batch to batch there may be some slight loading variations as these are 2 different batches of the same powder.

I just used up the last of my 571 for a Major Power 38 Super load and then filled the measure with HS-7 which in this case weighed a tenth of a grain lighter.

Groups and chrony results were the same.

If I were to open up the meter to get that extra tenth of a grain of powder, the results would likely be in line with what Steve experienced.
