I was reading Mr Waters' comments on the 7mm-08 in his Pet Loads this morning. He speaks highly of H205.
I don't see this powder on my local stores shelves.
Do you suppose it's marketed under another name?

I found it on this powder burning chart:

My gut tells me that it's obsolete.

Long gone. It was very likely the Hodgdon label of WW785, a powder that was discontinued because of erratic performance in certain high-intensity, low expansion ratio rounds (the 243 being just one prime example).

I was thinking along the lines of it being a discontinued W-W powder.
Thanks for the help

I've still got a couple cans of that stuff, which I bought for my 30-06. It left the bore real dirty and made cleaning a mess. I don't miss it.
