I got to thoroughly test IMR4166 this summer, and it worked as advertised in a bunch of rounds from .204 Ruger to .45-70. Data for all three "Enduron" powders is now up on the Hodgdon website.

Don't know about pricing, but assume it will be in the same range as the other IMR powders.


Key point that was missed in the above is availability date(s). . . "Early 2015 . . . " which is about as generic as it gets. I wouldn't be running to my LGS asking for it the day after New Years.

I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.
