Have an old metal 1 lb can of IMR 4198 that I recently loaded some .223 with 55 gr bullets. Hodgdon website said I should get 3000 fps but when I shot it my chrono said only 2400 fps. I shot some factory FMJ loads also and the POI was about 4 inches off from my handloads. The pricing on the can says $3.15 so it must be 40 years old. Powder smells good though.
