The Last of My IMR4007SSC

[TJCote]

I just finished the remaining powder in my last 1lb can for my 7mm-08 hunting loads. I know that this powder was discontinued due to issues with premature degradation, instability and some potential issues with possible auto ignition. I’ve been careful with it…stored it separately…in a metal ammo can in an old shed and watched it over the years. Frankly the powder looks, smells and behaves normally and works really well in my Cooper…so I’ve kept using it.
Anybody else had issues with this powder?

burnt the last of mine a long time ago. Worked well for what it was suitable in

Used the last of mine earlier this year. Loved it, and it produced great loads for my .223.

Velocity dropped off a chunk, but it still went bang, and grouped tight.

I had some very accurate loads with 4007 in the 7-08 and 325wsm.... was my goto for a while. Never had an issue with it myself, and had kept it for 4-5yrs.
