Found a couple of cans, what are you guys using it for. Thanks
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.
100gr Nosler Solid Base in 243 Win. The only load that rifle ever liked, but it shoots great!
It is not worth a schidt fer nuthin. I will take it off yer hands. Oh, an it's dangerous too, you'll shoot yer eye out.
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.

Pretty much the same burn rate as varget but higher speeds
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.
I use it in 7X57 & 250 sav
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.
Mathman, will you post the load (Gr) that you used in the 4320/150 - .308. Thank you
47 grains but work up, that's near the top.
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.
Kinda makes you wonder why the geniuses that own the IMR label would drop it .
Same as most business decisions, more money was to be made using production capacity for better selling powders.

Everyone wants to buy what is newest latest greatest.. and could care less about what has been working fine for decades.
I have about 6 pounds of it, left to stretch out my shooting days with.
It worked out very well in my daughters Rem 7 .260, accurate and consistent.
One of my favorite powders in 223, 308, 30-30, ,17 rem it measures so damn nice compared to Varget.
Easy to work up loads for, no need to sneak up to max in these rounds. I wish I would have known they were going to put the kybosh on it.
Its my favorite in my 243 with 62gr varmint grenades. Same POI as my 95BT. They put a hurt on varmints.

That's my complaint also ,had I known it was going away I would have ordered a case of 8 pounders . I have enough to last me the rest of my life in the two cartridges I will use it in but I have two sons who also use it and would have bought more if they had given notice that it would be discontinued. Same with Winchester 680 , it just disappeared with no warning. By the time I knew they were dropped there was none on the shelves anywhere I looked. Imr 4320 is like IMR 3031 , it works in anything and is the best powder in many.
Would also add that although not discontinued (as far as I know) the powders that are closest to replacing the 4320 are not currently to be had either. You cant find most of the hot shot powders that are being used to replace these old reliable powders they are discontinuing.

I'm guessing with so many options out there something had to give.
kwg
35 Whelen and 225 Nosler Partitions or Sierras.
I finally sold this 600. It was starting to hurt my old shoulder. But it loved this load...
350 RM Remington 600, 250 grain Hornady, 9 1/2M, 56 grains IMR4320, 0.35 MOA
I've always thought I was the reason they quit making a certain powder all the time...
Because it seems as soon as I find a certain powder that works real well in several applications and start using it, Satan notices that, and contacts the manufacturer and tells them to quit making it, OR ELSE, the world will experience Armageddon....never fails..
