4350, Varget, BLC-2 does it all... If I had to pick just one it would be 4350 Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue. What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

I have had a long time love afair with the 4350s. Having said this, however, The surplus powders have served me well for over 50 years starting with 4895 and 4831. The only surps. That have not performed well all the time are 7383, 5010, 870 and 5020.Everything else has proven a great performance bargin. roger Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone.. | |||

I find IMR 4350 to be VERY useful in a wide variety of cases. Also IMR 3031 and Norma MRP/RE22 or IMR 7828 for the big-case, smaller bore magnums like the 7mm Rem. "Bitte, trinks du nicht das Wasser. Dahin haben die Kuhen gesheissen." | |||

They have N205?? Must be old! I don't think there's been any made since aabout 1974, when MRP replaced it. I'd sure like some! Also would like some H205! "Bitte, trinks du nicht das Wasser. Dahin haben die Kuhen gesheissen." | |||

I've used IMR 4831 for 35 years. In just the past 8 or 10 years I've started using IMR 7828 for my 25 caliber. I use Titegroup for my pistols. I used to use Unique but I had metering problems with it. | |||

Sort of depends on what caliber. For the 45-70, 405 Winchester IMR 3031 For the 30-06, 308 IMR 4064 For the 25-06 one of the 4831s Did find a great buy on 32 pounds of 4895 so I will be tinkering with that in all calibers.
