Description

IMR 4350 smokeless rifle powder delivers consistent performance across medium to large rifle cartridges with its proven medium burn rate formula. This versatile propellant excels in popular calibers from .270 Winchester to .300 Winchester Magnum, providing handloaders with reliable velocity and accuracy.

What Makes This Different

IMR 4350 features a single-base nitrocellulose formulation that burns cleaner than many double-base powders while maintaining temperature stability across varying conditions. The medium burn rate positions it perfectly between faster powders like IMR 4064 and slower options like IMR 4831, creating an ideal balance for medium-capacity rifle cases. This powder consistently meters through progressive presses and powder measures due to its uniform kernel size and shape.

Key Features

Medium burn rate optimized for .270 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and .300 Winchester Magnum
Single-base nitrocellulose formulation for reduced barrel fouling
Temperature-stable performance from -40°F to 125°F
Uniform extruded kernels for consistent powder charges
Low flash signature reduces muzzle blast visibility
Copper crusher tested to SAAMI specifications
1-pound canister with moisture-resistant seal

Handloaders achieve optimal results with IMR 4350 in hunting rifles chambered for medium to large cartridges, where consistent velocity translates to predictable bullet drop at extended ranges. Competition shooters rely on this powder's lot-to-lot consistency for match-grade ammunition in service rifle competitions. The clean-burning characteristics reduce cleaning frequency while maintaining accuracy over extended shooting sessions.
