    Anyone have access to or try the new IMR powders?

    And to think I spent the last 4 years scrounging so I could have a lifetime supply of 4320, 4350, 4064, 4895, RL15, RL19, 7828 and a few others.

    Now I have to start all over again...

    Frank, I have yet to see any on the shelf anywhere in East Tennessee. They look good, but I am like you. I have a good supply of most powders. No longer do I go chasing after the perfect powder and bullet for each rifle. I have standardized on about four rifle powders and have been shooting up my stash of left over powders that have been on the shelf for 10 years. Lately I have been concentrating on Ramshot powders. Too bad I can't find any Tac or Big Game.

    Ramshot powders seem to have disappeared from the face of the earth. I use a lot of Hunter, but haven't seen any for over a year.

    I hear ya on chasing powder & experimenting. I've been using mostly 4350, 4064 & RL19 for almost everything. I suppose someday I'll come up with use for all those "other powders" I have. Maybe if I run out of my regular stuff.
    Part of the problem is the Reloader's OCD Syndrome. I see a new powder & go into hyperventilation wondering if I should track some down & try it.

    We need a support group.

    I nominate you to get a can of each, try it out by running a full OCW on each & report back to us.

    And stop telling where I can buy some.
    You're enabling my addiction...
