Just got my 6.5 together and now I can't find any powder. Ugh...
That's not exactly correct. IMR powders were manufactured and sold by DuPont until around 1992 when it was spun off into an independent entity. Hodgdon and they had no direct business relationship with the IMR brand until they purchased it in 2003. Hodgdon got their start selling surplus IMR 4895 until that supply was exhausted at which time they -- Bruce Hodgdon -- contracted with ICI in Scotland to develop a close copy of the original IMR 4895, which became H4895 (and is now manufactured by ADI in Australia). IMR 4350 was never sold under any other brand name than that of DuPont's IMR; Hodgdon's 4350 rendition was intended to mimic IMR's version when it was introduced in 1982, not replace a no longer available powder.Good Powder. I started using it when it was IMR-4350. Some of it back in the early 80's was still WWII surplus powder If I read right. When it ran out, they did some reformulation and Hodgden came out with it. Just checked, Powder valley is out of it in the 8# and the 1# as well. Still popular.
