IMR 4350 Why is it so Expensive,?

[Husky user]

I made the rounds of the stores in Missoula,Mt Thurs.
Most powders were running $35-$40 ,but IMR 4350 was about $60.
I asked CoPilot and she had some excuses about consistency ,versatility & reputation!

Same thing in great fallsI looked around the other day.if I was guessing I would say popularity. I'm willing to pay more for it just because it works for so many of cals I use

Count your blessings. I don't remember the last time I saw a $35-40 pound of powder around here!

It's my "Go-to" powder in my .243s. Luckily, I have a couple pounds on hand. Should be good for a while.

AT least you can find imr 4350 one day you might not find it at all

Better buy up all of that $35/pound powder now--- just wait 6mo to a year and see what the prices will be

IMR 4350 Smokeless Powder 1 Lb for Short Magnums

Buy a 1 lb. bottle of IMR 4350 Smokeless Powder here at Midsouth Shooters. This short magnum powder works best when coupled with medium weight bullets.

Curious if folks have tried RL-16 instead of IMR 4350, although Reloder does cost more.

Bass Pro in North Florida selling IMR4350 for $74.99 per lb. Thankful it was a powder that I always had on hand. I'm praying and hoping for the outcome we so desperately need in November!

Husky, I think the bigger supply houses have 16 lately.

We have just purchased several pounds of R-16 (because we could) and can also use it as a sub for H-4350 (48 lbs). We just shoot in our .260, 1K rifle so a lot of rounds and then a few in .243, .270wsm, .325wsm HUNTING.
