Local store was out of H4350 and IMR 4350 today, both were in stock a few days ago. Reloader 16 was in stock along with a bunch of other stuff.

RL16 is available pretty much everywhere around here. I've been using it a fair amount and it seems to track pretty well with most 4350 data. Just about like 4451. So far it has been pretty accurate where it fits much like H or IMR's version.

Keep your eye on the Graf and Sons website. They get powders in on a regular basis. They often have a sale on primers. The thing I like about them is the fact that they will ship powder and primers (ground shipping) together...and you pay only one hazmat fee. Last time I ordered it think the fee was $27.50. Often they will run a deal where if you buy 40lbs of powder, hazmat shipping is waved. We have a group of guys who bundle our orders together to take advantage of that. Worth checking into.

There is an eight pound jug of H 4350 on GunBroker. Bid up to 305.00. Several days to go on auction.

Check Powder Valley regularly; they had some H4350 one-pounders a month or two ago. As expected, they went quickly. l bought two eight pound kegs from them in the last year or two. It appears that sellers don't know when they will receive a shipment or the size of the shipment.

For bsa1917hunter:

As of today, Scheels in Sparks, NV has some IMR 4451 in 1-lb containers for $30. No H4350, but they do have IMR4350. No Rel16.

I have just started using RL16 and so far I have been impressed with it in the 30-06 and 6.5 Swede. It seems to be tracking pretty closely to H4350. I am not sure how it stacks up with the temperature sensitivity but in accuracy and speed it seems pretty close, almost grain for grain with H4350 data.

180 Accubonds, Hornady Cases, CCIBR2's.

Speed is 2720 for 56. I had some 57's loaded but haven't had a chance to shoot them yet over the chrono. Accuracy seems to be sitting right around an 1" without too much fiddling so far.

Thanks man!!! Have gone up to 57 grains with RL-17 and interested what the more supposed temp stable RL-16 would do.

No problem. It seems like good stuff so far. Plan on giving it a try in some other cartridges as I get more time at the bench. It is very good in the 270 with 130 Hornady's as well. Pretty speedy.

Hey czech1022 I was at Scheels a day before you and they had 8lb's of H-4350 and Fed 210 Match primers. Bought them as an early birthday gift to myself. I felt like I'd won the lottery.
