Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles IMR 4350

Id hate to think I was out of IMR4350... scary thought!!

Some of my most accurate loads use IMR4350. I’m trying to switch to H4350 or IMR4451. But IMR4350 has been a favorite in my life.
The 6mm Remington dad built for me on a Mauser action with.a Sharon barrel would shoot 1/4” groups at 100 yards with any 75 grain hollow points - SPEER, Sierra, & Remington.

I have an El-Cheapo Model 783 in 30-06 with 3-9. First load of IMR 4350 under a 165 Sierra Game King BTHP shoots an inch easily at 200. Haven’t even tried adjusting the charge.

Buy what you find when you can find it IF you will use it and don't think the price is too far out of line. I am an IMR fan but ,although I do own a can or two of IMR 4350 I have actually always used the H 4350 because it meters a little better in most measures. My rule is , I don't buy anything that's much overpriced or that is something I will not likely use by choice.

That is for sure. My favorite

Been fiddling with Ramshot Hunter & Big Game but nothing really replicates ole IMR 4350 mostly just new bookends.

IMR 4350 is one of my favorite powders. 6mm Remington, 30-06, and my favorite load in my 338 win mag uses it too.

I think 4350 is about like the 30-06. It ain’t flashy but damned if the stuff doesn’t work for a lot of applications.

Rifle wise a guy could have a lot of bases covered pretty well with IMR 4895 and 4350.

I’d go along with that. I’d probably add a 7828 or 8133 to the top end and buy all I could but yup, you’d really get by just fine.

Some powders are for individual cartridges, like RL-25 for the 6.5-06 for instance , but IMR-4350 is a powder I just stock. Except for last summer's heat dome, our weather is pretty steady the year round. So H-4350 offered no advantages and larger groups.

Yeah, I get big groups with H4350 too:





Horrible, just horrible schidt. I tell ya.. Yeah, IMR4350 has always done real well for me too. Started out with it, and will always keep it in stock. Used it in the 30-06, 300wm, 243win, 270 winchester, 8mm mauser and 338WM. It works great.

Same where. I’ve got a buddy that uses Ramshot Hunter in lots of different cartridges and swears by it. I’ve been messing with it in my .30-06 using using 178 gr ELD-Xs. 3 shot groups are .80 inches 5 shot groups we won’t talk about it.

I've seen decent powder in stock there occasionally. Unfortunately they also take advantage and marking the more popular powders up by $20+ over less popular powders by the same maker. I get supply and demand, but sheesh....luckily I have all I need as well.

Anyone using Accurate 4350 powder in an 06?
