That can be said about a lot of powders. We got used to very similar burn rates with the vast lots of military surplus powder after WWII. It ain't the same anymore.
Don't suppose I'm saying that it's not a good powder (at least in the burn rate my supply came from). It works extremely well under heavy .243s and also for intermediates in my rifle I like to call a .264 WSM, but is more commonly known as 6.5-300 WSM.
However, the bulk burn rate changes to some powders have been dramatically larger than most variations. It's probably just bad luck, but I have been unfortunate enough to see that somewhat more with Hodgdon's non-surplus ADI powders than others (excepting a VV I still have some of).
I don't think it's even slightly unreasonable to demand better consistency from the actual manufacturers of smokeless powder than what we
sometimes see. When there's a company who's only a packager/reseller, it opens wider the question of whether that re-seller is specifying the characteristics each powder must have or not, and whether or to what extent a reseller actually tests the powder they're buying. Playing musical suppliers can't help anything, either.
