IMR 4198 Smokeless Gun Powder | Prime Reloaders

Product Description

A Fast-Burning Choice for Small Cases

IMR 4198 fills an important niche for reloaders working with small to medium capacity rifle cartridges. This fast-burning extruded powder delivers consistent performance in cases that don’t need the slower-burning powders common in larger magnum cartridges.

Well-Suited to Popular Small Cartridges

Reloaders commonly load IMR 4198 in cartridges like .222 Remington, .223 Remington, and .30-30 Winchester. Because it burns efficiently in smaller case volumes, it produces consistent velocities without excess pressure. In addition, many reloaders use IMR 4198 for cast bullet loads, where its faster burn rate suits lower-velocity cast bullet applications well.

Reliable Metering, Predictable Results

IMR 4198 meters consistently through a powder measure, giving reloaders repeatable charge weights. As a result, you get predictable accuracy and performance, whether you’re loading for varmint hunting, small game, or cast bullet target shooting.
