IMR 4198 What to do?

[ScreaminEagle]

I have three full cans of IMR 4198. What should I load it in? I read the description of it on their website, but that was of little help. What would you guys use it in? I have the following rifles:

257 Roberts
30-06
7mm-08
300 savage
280, but have a very solid load for it already
223
6mm rem
300 Bee

SE, the only thing I see on your list IMR4198 would work for would be is the 223 with light bullets. It's an excellent 222 and 45-70 powder or maybe even a 30-30. Scotty

Get you a T/C Contender pistol with a custom 14" 30-30AI barrel from MGM and some 125 gr Nosler ballistic tips. 33 grs IMR 4198 gets me 2670 fps and under 1" groups at 100 yards. You could just send me the powder and I will shoot it up for you. :mrgreen:

I used IMR 4198 a while back in my "tripple duce" (222) with fair results. Anything small might be a place to look.

On another note, you stated this in your original post, "280, but have a very solid load for it already"

Care to share that load data?

54gr of IMR 4350 pushing a 140gr Barnes TTSX w/ CCI LR primer
This combo shoots half inch groups at 100 yards and puts the hammer down on whitetails!
