The IMR 3031 smokeless rifle powder delivers consistent performance for medium-capacity rifle cartridges with its fast-burning characteristics. This single-base extruded powder has earned recognition among competitive shooters and hunters for producing accurate loads in popular cartridges from .223 Remington to .30-06 Springfield.
What Makes This Different
IMR 3031 features a single-base nitrocellulose formulation that burns cleaner than many double-base powders, reducing fouling and extending barrel life. The extruded granules provide excellent metering consistency through powder measures, with burn rate positioned between IMR 4895 and IMR 4064. This powder maintains velocity consistency across temperature ranges better than many competitors in its burn rate class.Key Features
