IMR vs H 4350

[Uzima]

Any handloaders more familiar with the difference between the two, IMR and hodgdon 4350? Had good success with H but IMR results have been lackluster. Specs:

Winchester 70 24", 30-06, 168gr a-max. For the IMR using a node at 56.4gr at 2850 fps average. Will do a new seat depth assessment this weekend.

Out of hodgdon, if I can't tighten it up the IMR I also have IMR 4064 with a load that'll do but running short on that powder too.

Thanks.

4451 is a near replacement for h4350

Ive found win 760 to be the best in my 3006 and .243.

I load 150 gr in 3006 at 2900 fps and dont feel im pushing it.

H4350 is super temp stable, I'd use that if you have it available.

In my 30-06, H4350 groups better with 150 gr. TTSX, while IMR4350 groups better with 168 gr. Accubond. The differences are marginal, but measurable. For hunting loads inside 400 yards I would not hesitate to use either powder, but having scored 8 lb. of H4350 from Powder Valley earlier this year I know what I'll be using. Good luck.

I find IMR or H equally accurate in several different rifles. IMR gives me the fastest speed.

What seating depth (from lands) are you using?

What seating depth (from lands) are you using?

Testing out.010, .015, .020 .025 .030 .035 .040 if weather clears up this week. Powder node was aquired at .005 and wasn't impressed.

Are you loading to the same velocity?

Are you loading to the same velocity?

between IMR and Hodgdon?

 

[Jstumbaugh]

Yes. I'm curious if you hit the same velocity will your groups mirror each powder. Might be a couple grains different between the two but if your rifle has a node at 2850fps might be worth testing.

Stick with H4350 if your 06 likes it and you have some of course. My Rem 700 3006 loves IMR4350. H4350 not nearly as much.
