I have a chance to buy some "Data" powder 4197. I assume it is close to 4198, but I don't know anything about it. Anyone have any info? Thanks

You need to post this in the reloading forum. I think HAWKSHAW gave you excellent advice. Just because it is one number different, doesn't mean it is made by the same manufacturer. I know of three manufacture's that all make their own take on 4350. It is not the same, and not interchangeable.
Most reloading manual's give a list of powder's by burn rate. They also specify in their data, if you change ANY component for a given charge, to start your development over from starting loads.
The advice given was to keep you from blowing your face off, or other needed limb parts. Always err on the side of caution.
That said, GOOGLE is your friend. This is the only thing I found, but it is very worthwhile to read.

No problem litetrigger. It is actually a pleasure to help people out, the best we can. That is what we do here. I just hope, that someday, I can contribute as much as I have taken from this forum. Don't be a stranger, and come back and visit soon.
My first comment, (having reloaded ammo since 1955), is DON'T ASSUME ANYTHING!!!) Secondly, Do a google search, and you will find why assumptions don't apply in reloading. HAWKSHAW

He was probly more worried about your safety then being polite.[;)]
I've never heard of it, but I'll bet someone will get you in touch with some usable info.
I've always found this forum to be useful in that.[^]
