H4350 substitute

[7070yshot]

Anyone being forced to play with different powders that normally would use 4350? Any luck with loads substituting H4350? Noticed Accurate 4350 comes available every now and again , is it similar? I've just always used h4350 because it works well in all cartridges I use.

What caliber? I used H4350 in a 6.5CM load. Due to shortages started using RL17 and I probably won't go back now. I get better velocities with the 140g Match Burners and stooopid accuracy between .12 and .4 depending on the day I'm having. Either way it works great and I have 24lbs of it now.

This is for a 338 wsm shooting 230 eldx . Seems to work really well . I noticed RL 17 and 16 have similar burn rates.

I shot h4350 in my win mag for years. Then I tried the h4831sc. I like the 4831 better. I use 250 accubonds in that one. Just a thought. The 4831 has been popping in and out all year.

Dropped H4350 for Vit N555 for 6.5 CM and never looked back.

IMR 4350, Accurate 4350, and H4350 are really close. H4350 temp stability makes it attractive and more popular (no personal experience directly comparing them head to head).

The good news: There has been a large amount of H4350 available the last week or two. Post after post in the classifieds about H4340 online availability recently. It's actually been staying in stock for many hours. Sometimes more than a day+ Before it sells out.

Call Salida gun shop , 719 207 4285. They have 19 lb available

I was using h4350 for my hunting load in my 6.5 creedmoor and wanted to find a substitute for long range target practice. I switched over to Norma URP. After doing a load work up I ended up with the exact same load as H4350.

@Coyote Shadow Tracker the reason that Retumbo is so elusive is because it's not being manufactured by ADI in Australia all this year, 2021. They released a statement saying they would not be making AR2225, their name for Retumbo. I have attached their naming convention and a link to their statement http://www.adi-powders.com.au/2021/04/16/propellant-update-rifle-powder-update/

Thanks for this information;

IMR4350 is a decent powder, though a bit sensitive. I'm on my 2nd 8 lb jug since switching and now like it better than the H version. I see 50fps increase when temps hit the mid 90's, which shot even better and lower ES. I'm shooting it in my 243, 6.5 creed and a 300 SAUM among a few others.

I have done some work comparing H4350 and H4831sc in my 260 Rem and 6.5CM. Accuracy and velocities are pretty close. Just be sure to work up the 4831sc loads carefully.

Search function works well.

This is a link for an example (below):

Search results for query: h4350

Natchezss, Recobs, Ballisticproducst, Third Generation, Powder Valley, Midwayusa.... That's just since 7/01/2021.

For some reason, and this is just my experience but H4350 has been one of the easiest powders to find the last 12+ months. That's just online, I don't try to find anything local. Waste of fuel and the one place that has stuff is expensive (I guess economics play into that).
