I can only confirm what you've all said. The ammo companies don't use the same powders we do.
We use "canister" powders which cost more because they have to be the same (or nearly so) from can to can to can to... The ammo companies have bazillion dollar ballistics labs, so they can buy bulk lots of powder and tailor their loads to that powder until they run out of it. Then they start over with the next batch. We don't have that luxury (or the wallet to buy 100,000 pounds of bulk at a time) so we depedn on canister grade. Bottom line: You can get close, but you cannot exactly duplicate factory loads with the powders available to you.
