I have used IMR powders since 1982 and have just started seeing info on the new Enduron powders. I am curious on how the new powders fit in / compare to the existing line up.
For example, I use 4350 for 30-06, 4064 for .308. The IMR site says 4166 is great for .308 among other. It says 4451 is good for 30-06 and 4995 is good for .300 WM.
I am wondering if I should start working up new loads with these powders or just stick to what has worked well for folks. What loading books have data on these new powders? I have all the latest editions from Nosler, Hornady, Sierra, Speer, Lyman, etc. Guess I will be buying new editions for those that have data for the new powders.
Bottom line - I would like to hear if folks are jumping on the Enduron band wagon or just continuing to use loads that are proven for 80 years, like 56/57gr for 165 30-06.
Thanks,
Steve
