New Powders From IMR

novalty · Nov 6, 2014

Just saw this posted from Powder Valley. IMR is realeasing 3 new powders: IMR4166, IMR4451, and IMR7977. Here is the website link: imrpowder.com/press.html It appears that they are all intended for rifle applications.

Powder Valley has some 1# & 8# jugs of the new IMR4166 in-stock, if you enjoy trying new powders.

Daggonit OP
I just started reloading 308 last month, just got some 30 06 dies for playing with this winter and have 7mm Rem mag dies on my list.

Soooo, I have to get all 3 powders?

venomballistics · Nov 6, 2014

well, two of them.
I think its 4166 that might be a little too fast for your stuff.
happy hunting, and hope you find some to play with

4895 will...

IMR 4895 will shoot all of those. It's the Unique of rifle powders.

But it's not the new hotness anymore!!!

And yet it sure is hard to find...

66 & 51 are kissing cousins to 4064 and 4350 for what
I use in the 270 and 30-06, just looking at their data.

Can't wait to see how it does in test when used in the days ahead.

I'd be nice if they could make some pistol powder, new or old, for us too!

I live in northern Colorado and powders are still very difficult to find in this area, at least at a price near normal retail. It bothers me that companies come out with new products when they cannot keep up with current products. So now we have 3 new unavailable powders available or would that be 3 new available powders that are unavailable......or something to that affect.....

ChiefStealth · Nov 7, 2014

From the IMR "News" section... "...sophisticated extruded powders that are loaded with more features than any other brand of powder available today."
So... new and improved. Better than anything else. But, you can't actually buy it. The folks at IMR have attended the same marketing school with the folks from Microsoft and Apple.

Nevada Ed · Nov 7, 2014

No, actually that is three new powders being made, packaged
and stored...............

while we are all waiting for the old line of products that we use
to be made, packaged and shipped at some point, to dealers
where we might be able to buy it, before it is sold out.

Don't you just love it !!

4166 is already available at at least 2 stores on the internet

I've been using 4759...

...for reduced loads. FUN!

I have seen more rifle powder than anything. Surely something on the shelves will work for a while.

4166 is for .223 type loads so should work in 308 too. it's imr version of copper fouling reducer.

125JHP · Nov 9, 2014

and the load data is where...?

Also at Wideners, but they're sort of slow to ship

Some would say the same about: 4756, 4759, and PB.

rwsmith · Jan 25, 2016

For being discontinued.......

I heard IMR 4759 was discontinued, but there was plenty on the LGS shelves today.

The price on the IMR stuff was like $29/lb though.

rwsmith · Jan 25, 2016

Do you mean the 4166???

125JHP said:

Look on IMR website, data, rifle, cartridge, bullet weight, type of powder and it pops right up. And yeah, it does look like a good powder for .308, which means it's also probably a good powder for my 30-06.
