Replacing powders - Again!

ligonierbill · September 2, 2022, 03:33 PM

Just got a message from Powder Valley that IMR is dropping their entire Enduron line. Just when I had .243 Win and .257 Roberts cooking with IMR-4955. Back to the bench.

Yikes! Any reason given?

Belay that.

I found the Hodgdon announcement. It's not a problem with the powders, but that the manufacturing plant has been tied up with military contracts (a sign that the powder is a good design) and unable to supply Hodgdon. Lackus sourcium.

This may change in the future.

Glad I spent a pile of time developing loads for EVERY Enduron powder.
