IMR4064. I wasn't aware of a Hodgdon 4064. If you go to Hodgdon's site, data, then choose Hodgdon powder, you won't see a 4064 listed. 4064 is only listed under IMR powders.

Are their multiple 4064's I should be concerned about?

I think there is not a Hodgdon version of 4064 because it is pretty dang close to VARGET

There is also an Accurate Arms brand version of 4064. It's very close to IMR 4064. Hodgdon's burn rate chart shows IMR 4064 at the #93 slot, Accurate 4064 at #95, Reloder 15 at #97, and Varget at #99.

So I am correct that "numerically", there is only one 4064 among Hodgdon and IMR?
There is no Hodgdon 4064, and any other "version", or powder with similar characteristics, would have a different number designation?

earl39's response above did not make sense to me.

There is no Hodgdon 4064. There is AA 4064, which is very similar in burn rate to IMR 4064. Maybe he was thinking of the Accurate Arms version.
