[hound2013]

I got some powder and I know you can use it for 223 what other calibers is it good for I went on line and didn't find a whole lot of info on it . and also I haven't had a chance too look in my books . also can it be used for shotgun reloading ????? thanks..... hound2013

.308, it is part of some of my most accurate ammunition recipes. Shotgun??? uh..it would be first I hear of it, if 700x is a shotgun powder imr 4320 is way over on the other side of the burn chart so probably too slow, I am not saying an absolute no, some may chime in here with another answer but I'm not so sure that you want any serious pressure build up in a shot gun barrel.

IMR 4320 works well in most medium sized cases with medium or light-weight bullets. One of the best powders for 303 Brit. and light 308/30-06 bullets. Meters great. It is one of the available powders still on the shelf in a lot of places. I bought a couple pounds of IMR SSC4007 and then found out it was discontinued. If anyone has loads developed with that powder and would like to trade for something of equal value PM me.

Some of my most accurate .223 loads were with 4320. Not the fastest, but data is around if you look for it.

No shot shells with 4320. Much bad Ju-Ju.

22-250 shines with 4320

I use it primarily in. 303 and 7x57 but it has some pretty broad applicability in mid-sized cases...

IMR 4320, along with RL 15 and Higginsons 47N are my go-to powders in my 303 rifles.

4320 was one of the early powders for the 30-06 military loads. It can be used in a surprising amount of calibers, and is almost never the best in anything. Two that it shines in are 35 Whelen and the 458 Lott.

I use 4320 for 55gr and 70gr 243, and 150gr and 165gr 7.5x55, as well as for 55gr 223. Meters really well as others have said

I'm loading it in a 30-06 with 18.5 inch barrel and 175gr burgers. Works amazing in a shorter barrel.

I too use it for .303 Brit.

Works well for 100 grain bullets in my 7mag

 

[billdick]

load data for it and imr 4064 and hodgdon varget are all very close to one and other. It works in almost everything.

I use it in a .300 Savage load with 165 gr. Hornady Interlocks, it's a great deer load.

Seems anytime i look up a varget load IMR 4320 is right there aswell.. usually close to the same amount of grains and velocity. I tried it in the 22-250 and got great accuracy but stayed with varget due to the different temp changes im constantly hunting in.
IMR4007 SSC. prolly my favorite powder of my 7mm-08 and 22-250. when i heard it was discontinued i bought close to 20 pounds. Now Varget and IMR4320 are now sitting on the shelf collecting dust.

4320 Works well for me .223 25.5 gr behind 55gr v-max , .243 40.1 grn behind 65grn v-max. Enjoyed great results in my savages

 

[cdn1canhunt]

I use 4320 for .223....25.5grn behind 55gr v-max bullet, .243... 40.1 grn behind 65 grn v-max bullet. Great results!

Sorry double posted

It is similar in speed to RL-15. A bit slower than 4895. Fine grained, it meters well. It used have a fair amount of variation from lot to lot. Might be better now with the factory under new management.

if you have a quantity of it, use it in medium rifle cases. Absolutely no good for shotgun.
