I suspect IMR3031 might be discontinued the future
I hope this is not true. Love it in a 30-30, 7-30 Waters and 375-284.
My big metal keg of 4320 is just about gone so I tried Norma 201, almost a dead ringer for 4320, maybe a tad better accuracy, but oh boy, try finding 201 in my part of the world.
Similarly...Fearing the untimely demise of 3031, I started experimenting with Hodgdon Benchmark,(supposedly a 3031 substitute) with less than stellar results thus far...target loads in .308, hunting loads in the 8x57, light bullets in the Roberts. But my methodology is lacking, all I did was try to duplicate velocity of my existing 3031 loads of proven accuracy. The jury is still out. I suppose the old farts complained about 3031 when it was introduced to replace HiVel #2.
