IMR 4350 , can it be used for cast ?
I was loading jacketed rounds for the 30/06 the other night and 4350 is supper accurate in my rifle
I am going to load some reduced cast loads later for the 308 and was cleaning out the powder measure and putting the 4350 jug away before getting out an other powder
It got me to thinking
I never remember seeing cast loads for 4350
Some where I remember reading 4350 can do wacky things if loaded to light
Like "SEE" :groner:
Is my memory corect ?
As I have a fair amount of 4350 and not a lot of 4895
But I don't want to mess up

4350 is a favorite of mine
Ive been using 4350 for years in my 06 for both cast and jacketed bullets. I load the 210 gr cast at about 2000 fps and its very accurate at 100 yds.
For the 308 Ive been finding that 748 seems to work best. I dont use 4350 in the 308 as that powder was originally designed for larger capacity cases. 748 gives me very good accuracy in the 308 with 169 gr cast as well as with jackedt bullets.
