They used to be the same exact powder, just in bottles with different brand labels.
What he ^^^^^ said, 296 was my fall back when H110 was almost nonexistent in the market. Used the same charge in my 44mag, 300BO with minimal deviation which is acceptable for different lots.

According to Hodgdon, they are now identical powders with identical data. Years ago, they were very close, but different. However, they are now the same, so if you are using powder in the old metal containers, use older data (and for the correct powder code), but if it is in the modern round plastic container, they are identical powders. This came straight from Hodgdon, who produces both.
