I was at Sportsman's in Nampa Id yesterday and perusing the powder shelf, dreaming about finding a jug of H1000 for the 7 STW when I spied 8 lb of IMR 3031 for considerably less cost than any other powder on display.

Now it has been almost 24 hrs, and forgive if I am not accurate here. I think it was less than $200 for 8 lbs. But I do know it was the cheapest powder by far on display.

I used to use 3031 exclusively in my 22-250. (34,3 gr with a 60 gr Hornady SP). And in the '06 when loading for Mom's Rem 742. But I do not have any use for it today.

Perhaps if you need it, it is available in a store in your area.

People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
