I only have a few pounds left, so I use it sparingly, but my 303 Savage loves the stuff with pretty much any bullet I put over it.

The 300S is fond of it as well with lighter bullets

Seems like that was the powder I used most in my 17 Remington...

It is the only powder I have ever used in .243 100 grain loads . I also use it in .32 Remington . Have used it in others in the past but since they have dropped it I am reserving it for those two.

Same. I've had it shoot well in quite a few cartridges, but my stash is now exclusively to feed the 303 now. It's less finicky with 4320 than other powders I've used in it, and the other rifles aren't that picky.

My 350 RM lives that powder. I’m also using it sparingly. It one of my favorite powders.


I prefer classic.

1Longbow: One of my 17 Remington Varmint Rifles prefers IMR 4320 and one of my heavy long barrel 243 Winchester Varmint Rifles excels with it.
Enjoy.

have used the IMR4320 in my 300 Savage [ a 99 featherweight from 1960] with 150 gr hornady Interlocks for a long time. Shoots really well.

Used the 4320 in my 7 x 57. Shot 140 gr and 150 gr bullets well.

The 4320 pushed 150 gr Partitions into little groups and thru whitetails.

none of the above was maximum loads.

and it fed thru my powder measure quite well.

Am hording what i have left.

4320 was quite good in 308 Winchester with 150/155 grain bullets, and it was great through my powder measure as well.

4320 has for many years been the go-to powder for my 338-06 -- really good velocities and great accuracy with 200-225 grain bullets. I wish it was still in production, and hope my supply will last as long as I do!

Think of it in the same category as Reloader 15, Varget, 748 & BLC-2

Slower than 4064 but faster than 4350

Great powder - sad it’s discontinued but happy I still have a stash of the old forest green label goodness.

I have a few pounds left. Used it mostly in 250Savage, 17Rem, a little in 243.

Now it mainly gets used in the AR15 for heavier weight bullets.

I used it years ago while working up loads for my 338-06 per Ken Water's data. When the Covid crunch was well under way (a year ago) I dropped by my LGS looking for a powder that would work fine in multiple applications not knowing where all of this Covid crap would go. They had this sitting on the shelf so I bought it not realizing that it had been discontinued. It will work just fine in about every rifle round that I load for.
