Also use it with the discontinued 275gr RN Hornady bullet in .338 Winchester Magnum a combination that yields 3 whot cloverleaf groups at 100yds. and is an excellent load for elk.

I see manuals list recipes for IMR 4350 in 6.5x55, so I suspect it’s at least an okay choice.

Any other cartridges where IMR 4350 shines? I could easily be persuaded to buy a new rifle so this powder doesn’t go to waste.

I've used it in the 6.5 Swede. It worked fine, but I didn't work with that rifle much before getting rid of it. IMR4350 is my favorite .30-'06/150 gr. powder.


So what you’re saying is I need a .30-06? wink
