I have just looked at the site and made some notes and this is a list of the powders that are made by ADI and sold under the Hodgdon name. These are not similar powders but the same thing as I understand it, obviously batch variation not withstanding.

Here goes:

AS30 - Clays
AS50 - International

AP70 - Universal (I like this one for reduced 22 and 17 Hornet loads.)

AR2205 - H4227
AR2207 - H4198
Benchmark 1 - not sold by Hodgdon
AR2219 - H322
Benchmark 2 - Benchmark by Hodgdon
AR2206H - H4895 Note the H designation on 2206, this is new down here.
AR2208 - Varget
AR2209 - H4350
AR2213SC - H4831SC SC = short cut
AR2225 - Retumbo
AR2218 - H50BMG (Pretty sure about that one but not 100%)

There are some Hodgdon's that appear on the chart on the site that are on the same burn rate line as the ADI's that are not made by ADI. All ADI powders are either flake type pistol/shotshell powders or relatively fine extruded powders in the AR rifle series.

This is from a fellow who lives in New Zealand and posted this list on a small bore forum.

Of note - ADI2208 = Varget here, not the IMR 4064. burn rates are similar, although not quite the same. 4064 is not an EXTREME powder, in that it is more susceptible to temperature changes than is Varget. many guys here like Varget in their '06's for 150 and 165gr. bullets. I figured Varget would be good in the 9.3x57, however I had a lot of H4895 so used that. In some ctgs. They are like peas in a pod.
