In my opinion H4350 is better than IMR4350 -- it tends to be a bit more accurate and to give higher velocities with max loads. But the Hodgdon powder is a bit slower, so loads you developed with IMR4350 will almost certainly not be the same with the Hodgdon powder -- you will probably need a bit more H4350 to get the same velocities that you got with IMR4350. | ||

I would buy a pound & try it 1st. It is a bit slower than IMR4350, so it's not completely interchangable. I like it in several loadings, it seems a bit more accurate. | |||

H4350's shorter grains meter much better than either IMR or Accurate, so I use it as much as possible, in the calibers you mention and some others (it's the cat's whiskers in the 7-08 with 145/150's, for instance). I've found the three 4350's to be pretty much interchangeable, as long as you use the standard "reduce 5% and work from there", premise, same as you'd do when using a new lot of the same powder you had been using. H4350 is supposed to be one of the "Extreme" powders, thus less temp sensitive, but, I haven't been able to personally verify that (when it's really cold out there, I'm inside by the fire ![]() ![]() MidSouth, Natchez, and Graf's often have the 8#'ers at pretty decent prices, so, if you have a means to store it properly (cool, dry, dark) I'd get it. One nice thing about an 8# container, once you DO get a load worked up, it'll be a long time before you run out, so, you don't have to worry about re-working the loads as often as you do every time you open a 1# can from a new lot. Something to think about. | |||

Quote: Trigger, 57.5grs. of H4350, 210M primer should give you excellent accuracy in your '06' for the 165grain bullet, and it's also an excellent powder for a 180gr bullet, with 57.5grs. being the max, H4350 meters much better than IMR4350 through my Hornady measure. It'll also work well in the 270 and 7x57. Jay | |||
