Anyone from australia, are IMR powders avaliable here. I cant seem to find any in melbourne.

Sorry "mate", I didn't even know australia still existed until you said something!

All jokes aside, If they'll let you import it then you can definitely get it! I dont know anyone locally being I live on the other side of the world (U.S.A) but I would just start looking up your local gun shops and check with them.

Good Luck!

If I remember correctly IMR powders are sold down under with a different name

butta9999 · July 5, 2008, 06:23 PM

Would you know what name by any chance. I had some 4320 and 4198 given to me a long time ago. They work beautiful in my .222 and .243. Im nearly out need more the ADI powders we have here just dont cut it.

no sorry I don't recall. not something I pay real close attention to.

VV N133 for the 222 and N150 and N160 for the 243 will work. I haven't a clue what IMR is marketed as on the other side of the planet, mate.

The former DuPont, now IMR powder is being run by the Hodgdon/Winchester/IMR conglomerate.

Your best bet would be to contact them at their website and ask them if IMR powder is handled by anyone in Australia.

I would think that NOBODY would know better the answer than Hodgdon/Winchester/IMR and they'd be happy to answer it.

yeah you're probably right i will e mail them now actually. Just love their 4320. Is it readily available in the states, i am guessing so.

mniesen89 · July 7, 2008, 04:43 AM

We've got gangbangers with barrett .50s over here! Of course 4320 is readily available!

Best of luck on expedition!
