IMR 4350 worth picking up?

[NRA4LIFE]

I was fortunate to get a small window at Midsouth (I think) and picked up 4 lbs a few years ago for $35/lb. I thought I won the lottery.

My take away from this thread:
A lb of powder has skyrocketed in price.

I've used IMR 4350 for a long time and always get good results from it. It was the first powder I started using when I learned to reload for my first 30-06 20 years ago. The kernels are a bit larger than H4350, so it meters a bit worse. And it's not rated as temp-stable like H4350 is. But I still use it.

I ran through one pound of it when I first started. I couldn't find a load that I couldn't best with H4350 and the temp stability is better with Hodgdon too so that's where I stay. For some reason the IMR powders are really marked up at my local bass pro.

A pound of IMR 4350 is $79.99. A pound of H4350 is $63.99. Both outrageous prices but i have never figured out why they ask more for the IMR stuff.
