Ya'll keep them cards and letters coming...........

Sir,

It is not called "gunpowder" anymore. It's smokeless powder
Just kidding, please do not take it seriously.

Believe it or not, I do understand what you are saying in so many words and agree to an extent, but still believe there are so many other variables that it can not be narrowed down to the powder alone.

Yes, in individual tests, by different people using different guns on different days and environments there certainly should be some variation in ballistics between H110 and W 296. Not many man made things are absolutely perfect or the same. Each lead bullet out of a box of 500 is probably a little bit different than the others.

You or I can go to the store buy a brand new jar of H110 and a a jar of W 296, load 10 rounds of each and perhaps there will be a slight variation. But for all practical purposes and based on the manuals, and manufacturers they still are the same powder.
