Well, since I don't shoot any type of big bores, or use cast bullets, I guess I'll be using it for the reduced loads, my 223Rem, and possibly 204Ruger. 8lbs should go a long way mainly being shot out of a 223 and 204!


Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

I've used IMR 4198 in the 222 Rem, 30-30 Win with 125 gr bullets, 32-20 with 115 gr lead and the 358 Win where it duplicates factory ballistics with a 200 gr Hornandy and provides excellent accuracy in my BLR.

I run IMR 4198 in an eighteen inch barreled Rem 600 chambered in 221 Fireball. I use FMJ bullets for a trap line rifle.

Every rifle cartridge I own and load for....

often reduced load, but still accurate....

don't often need a 500 yd load for the distances I shoot at...

very versatile...

try it in a 8mm Mauser.... with 170 or 175 grain bullets, and it can yield some pretty high velocities...yet load it down and its just as accurate...

IMR 4198 is the powder of choice used in Remington's Managed Recoil Loads.... or at least the calibers I've dissected a round in and weighed the powder and compared the quoted velocities with reload data published...

I've used a bunch in the 45-70 in the past, along with 200's in the 358 Winchester. Works great in both cases. I'll have to give it a shot in my 222 Rem.

I've loaded it in the .25-20, the .222 Remington, the .223, the .25-284, the .280, the .308, ad the 30-06.
Like Seafire says, make a great, accurate reduced power load(s) for alot of the larger rounds. E

It is ideal for several small and large bores I load for, including 17 Mach 4, 218 Bee, 444 Marlin, 45-70. Also works well in cast and reduced loads in 308 and 30-06. My most accurate cast load to date in 30-06 is a 215gr with 30gr IMR4198, for just over 1900fps. I want to hunt with that this year. It stacks 'em if I get everything loaded straight. Not really a 'reduced' load either.

.458 and .222.

I've used it in just about everything I load reduced cast bullet loads in, which is everything I own. I mainly use it now for full-snot loads in a .22 Maximum Lovell wildcat.
