Although I generally use IMR for rifle and Vihtavuori for pistols, that's an awesome find. A reproduction poster would make an excellent item for hanging on the wall!

There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

I only use IMR 4350 for my 8mm mauser. Originally I used 4320 and found a sweet spot with 170 grain spitzers. But they discontinued it. So I switched to 4350 and I primarily use 200 grain ones now. It's giving me a pretty stable and accurate grouping so I'm happy with it.Originally Posted by almostgone

My .270 Win and Sierra Game Kings in either 130gr or 150gr seem to love IMR4350.

The only thing I don't like about 4350 (and 4320 for that matter) is that it's powder is not spherical. Sometimes it causes my measure to be a few 10ths of a grain off, so I'm never loading max weight.

I don't have an automeasure, just a couple of Lyman 55 measures. I tinkered with my process at first measuring individual charges until I found a pattern that was consistent for me. 3 raps with the knocker every time.
On the other hand, I rarely shoot for max load for the exact reason you posted. I've found that max weight doesn't always equate to better accuracy.
