Hi Guys, Are any of you using the new powders from IMR my supplier has a good quantity of the Red Green and Blue I have some of the Target
but not had a chance to do much testing with it want to use them in .38 Special .357 Mag .45 ACP .44 Mag there is not any of the usual suspects
available right now.
Robert.
I am using the red in 9mm and the target in 45acp , I like it and I bought when it was a great price , if and when powders are available again I would buy it again .
Yes it is a very good price here as well much cheaper than the others by $5.00 to $10.00, Just not any load data for the Green
I was hoping for something close to Unique.
The Green is supposed to be the same as Green Dot.
The whole idea behind these IMR powders is that a shotgun loader could use the same bushing they use with Red Dot with the IMR Red.
The Unequal, which was never released, was supposed to be the Unique equivalent.
I've used the IMR Red in 45 ACP, 9mm, 38 SPL, and 327 FM.
I've used the Target in 45 ACP and 9mm.
I've got some Blue and one of these days I'll do some 10mm or 357 mag work with it.
It would be nice if Quickload had an up-to-date powder database. It would make things easier.
I would not hesitate to use the new offerings. Hodgdon is not going to put out junk.
Lots of data on their web site.
Tired a few rounds in 308 and 38 special with Green using Red Dot data. Seemed pretty similar velocity wise.
Not shots enough to get a good idea of accuracy.
The Hodgdon website shows the red, green, blue, and target as being discontinued. Anybody know anything about that?
I''m guessing this would be the reasonQuote:
