Anyone here use it much, or have an opinion on it? I found an 8 pound jug at a local shop at pre Biden price. Should I snatch it up?

It's very good for "4350 applications" where you'd consider IMR and/or H 4350. Note this powder has been discontinued, but you can get a lot of shooting out of an 8 pound jug. I'd snatch it up at a pre-Biden price.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I use more H4350 than any other powder as it's a good burning rate for many cartridges. E4451, from what I've read, is just as good with a few extra pluses like decoppering agents added so I'd grab it. Especially if it's a good price. We don't get it over here but if we did, I'd definately try it.

I’ve been using it successfully in several rifles. My jug has a sub $200 sticker price. I would pay substantially more for another.

It worked very well in my 6mm, 260 and 270. Matched groups I was getting with IMR 4350- different loads of course. Seems to get a bit more velocity.
I didn't know it was discontinued. Seemed a wonder drug when it came out.

4451 was the only powder that would get the velocity I wanted in my 338-06 with a 250 gr. bullet and not show over pressure signs.

YES!
My 30-06 loves the stuff. 56 gr under a Federal Trophy Tip gives me 2825 and sub-moa. I love the stuff and wish they wouldn't discontinue any of the Enduron series. I found it more accurate than H4350 and Big Game or Hunter in my 4350 applications. My former 280 AI liked it well.

It is about the same as H4350 and Reloder 16. It is my go-to, for my30-06 and 150-grain Hornady Interlocks. A half grain under max gets me 3080 fps and great accuracy.

I have never used H4350. I have been tempted to try it. The price on the jug is 269.00. Very reasonable for todays prices.

The price and the big jug make it a must-buy IMO. You can do some serious damage to a rifle barrel with 1200 or so rounds…….
