I just loaded 150 rounds of 30/06 with some older IMR 4320 that had red dust pluming from the measure when I poured it in. I did the same thing that the man who showed me how to reload did back in the 60's- poured it in slow and blew the red dust away as it came from the measure. The ammo shoots 4 shots in a 4 leaf clover at 100 yards; better than the current load I'm shooting in my 742. I wish I had 8 lbs. of the same stuff. This is in FA60 and FA61 match brass with CCI 250 primers and a Hornady 165 grain BTSP.
