Yesterday I was at the local gun store and saw an eight pound container of IMR 4350 for $304. I went home and checked the inventory and I had a 1 lb can of this. My 300 H&H loves it but I rarely shoot it. My 30-06 will shoot a ragged hole with H4350 and 165 gr. Bullets. Do I need to go back and get it? 55 miles away.

That's up to you brother. It sounds expensive at first but, $38 bucks a pound. I see a lot of different powders now, more expensive than that per pound. It might be a decent deal. I use to load a lot of .30-06 with IMR4350.

Yes go back & get it. Or call them & give them your CC & have them put it in the back & pick it up next time you are thru.

One of the most versatile powders - I’d drive back unless you’ve got others that could do better

One word answer. Yes.

Jay’s in Clare, MI had 8lb jugs of IMR 4350 for $325 plus tax yesterday. 1lb cans of IMR powders (no 4350) were $62. I didn’t buy it as I have enough, but it doesn’t seem to be getting cheaper. With gas so high, it seems more efficient to buy stuff when you see it rather than making an extra trip back.

I think a lot of us used to load a lot of 30-06 with IMR 4350 powder. Then we made the switch to H4350 because its more stable in varying temps. I still really like IMR4350 though, but only develop loads in the fall and winter where temps match what they are when I'm elk hunting..

2019 a fella at a gunshow had 4 lbs of Imr 4350 for $10 bucks a lb of course I bought it all.

My husky 640 in a 06 shoots 190 hornady btsp with Imr 4350 very well.

My totally unscientific experimenting always found it to be a bit more accurate in my .30-06 than H4350 with 180-grain bullets.

Good snag on that powder. I always keep it on hand and have used it in a lot of different cartridges. When I first started hand loading, that was my most used powder. Those bullets are a little spendy for interlocks though. If you can find some 165 SP'S, you may want to try those as well. I always had really good luck getting the flat based spitzers to shoot well in my 30-06 rifles.

And I thought I got a good deal this year for $32 a pound at the gun show from our local powder dealer.
