I have one small bottle of this powder but unsure of the on line data I found. I found a load guide version V3.3 . It shows data for Nitro 100 but no mention of Nitro 100 NF.

Are the powders the same? Any help would be appreciated.
 
According to Hodgdon Nitro 100NF is titewad. They have given this answer to 9 of 10 people that have asked. Only one individual has been given a different answer. I still think it's how he is asking. (Wording his question)
Keep in mind Nitro 100 and Nitro 100 NF. Are two different powders.
 
I'm probably missing something obvious, but I cannot find ANY load data for nitro100nf?? When I go to the Hodgdon reloading data site my powder options include Hodgdon, IMR, Ramshot and Winchester. Yet going to Accurate's website, load data button takes me to Hodgdon??

When I worded my question to Hodgdon I mentioned that 2 others on "a very popular shotgun forum" had claimed to have received affirmatives from Hodgdon as to Nitro 100 NF being Titewad, and also that Dawson Enterprises claims to have a letter from one of the Hodgdon brothers affirming the same. After prefacing my email to them with this, I asked if it is true. And they said "no". What more might you propose that I should ask of them?
 
I have a document showing load data for Nitro 100NF.

The link above is newer. Use that
 
As I've stated before, if per chance Nitro 100 NF has factually been morphed into Titewad by Hodgdon, then this would most likely only be true (if true, with this being a big 'IF') for Nitro 100 NF manufactured post the Hodgdon acquisition of the Accurate line of powders from Western. The Western stuff may be noticeably faster burning.

Subject: Nitro 100NF same as Titewad
Message: Dawson Enterprises in Massillon Ohio is saying that Titewad and Nitro 100NF are one and the same, They are referring to an Email between them and (Kent) Hodgdon.That says as much. Is this true or not?
Thank you for your time to answer,xxx
 
I could be wrong, but I. think the Western Powder Guide 8.0, linked to above, has more data for Nitro 100NF than Hodgdon has for Titewad.
 
Looking at the shotshell data I noticed that Accurate recommends .080 " crimp depth, which I always thought was too deep.
I have never paid any attention to that. For my 12 gauge 7/8 oz loads, I drop 15.8-16 gr of Nitro 100 NF using a Cheddite primer and a CB 0175-12 wad in a Remington Gun Club hull. My crimps are factory-like, and the performance of the load I personally rate as excellent.
