I have always used Varget as my only rifle powder. Recently I was persuaded to try H4895 for Garand and M1A loads, so I ordered some from PV. When I opened the jug, I noticed that the 4895 looked a lot like Varget. I sprinkled a little bit of each on a white piece of paper, and, to me at least, they were absolutely identical, even under a strong light.
I searched for this info online, and the few references I could find said that Varget and H4895 look (and smell) different from one another. Mine appear to be identical. What's the scoop? Did I get a mixed up lot (the jug was sealed normally) or do they really look that much alike?
