IMR3031 or IMR 4064

[Remmy]

Anybody using these 2 types of powder?And if so what caliber's are you using them for?

 

[ryanowarrior]

I use 4064 in .223 and .308

 

[Squiddley]

4064 for 308.

I've used 4064 for .22-250 before.

3031... I know I have a partial jug, but I don't recall if it was for .308 or .30-06...

3031 is excellent for 30-30 win. Kind of a stick powder and doesn't meter well in smaller diameter cartridges.

I've used IMR 4064 in .308 and 30-06. As above it's an extruded powder that meters like logs, but it's a capable powder.

I've had some outstanding results with it. It has great potential, but it ain't one I'd choose for high volume apps.

4064 I'm using for 30-06 and .308.

As Chuckdog states

it's an extruded powder that meters like logs, but it's a capable powder.

I used it 23 years ago and my powder measure (throw type) would chop the sticks in half and I had to force the handle quite a bit. It was a pain but did yield good results in .308 Winchester with 150-168 grain bullets loaded for precision rifle shooting.

There are other more powder measure friendly powders that I'll use before IMR 4064. I have not used the IMR 3031.

the army match round used to be a 168 sierra and 3031.

I use 3031 in everything 30 cal I own. 30-06, 308, 7.62x54r. Hell I put that **** on my toast in the morning
