It still seems your film is not fully developing.  At the 250 speed and Dilution B, you might try six minutes at 20 degrees instead of 4.5 minutes.  Unless you're using a rotary processor, in which case 4.5 might be pretty close.

  I still think it's the scanner that's 
  > messing with his grain, moreso than the film developer. > MTucker

  I rented (from a local photo equip rental co) a Polaroid Sprintscan 
  120 with SilverFast 5.2
  I'm scanning the B&W negs (35 & 21/4) as 16 bit HDR Grayscale @ 
  4000dpi (scanners optical res max).

  Another member of this group has been helping me, off list, to get 
  the scanner/software setup correctly. I'm not sure if there's any way 
  to improve the scan (maybe there are tweaks ?) except as you say to 
  go to a higher end scanner, which is not a consideration at this 
  time. 

  So I have to find an improvement in my film/dev. I do rate it at 250 
  which is what my "correct film speed" test indicates.
  I'm open to new film recommendations. However, I still have a good 
  stock of the old Tri-x and must first use it up - with a recommended 
  new developer or a change in my developer's dil/time 

  thanks
  Frank
