IMR 4198 Temp Sensitivity - 02/14/14
For a few fellow forum members that MAY use IMR 4198 for some of their varmint cartridges, particularly the 222s and 223s, I was reading in the Hodgdon Annual Manual, under its description that it has added something to make it temp insensitive!
For those of us that might shoot it in cold temps or real hot temps in the summer.. I thought it was important enough to know, that it should be passed on...
I haven't seen anything anywhere else about it now being temp insensitive.....Hodgdon Has touted H 4198 being temp insensitive, among others for quite a while... but like others I have preferred the IMR version....
Didn't see that accolade given to any of the other old IMR standbys, like 4895, 4064, 3031, 4320, 4350 4831....
