Temp insensitivity
is part of the selling point of those new IMR powders. They are direct competition to the Hodgdon Extreme line of powders.
Granted... for varmints at normal distances the old line of powers work fine. Stretch the distance out and the value of having a temperature stable powders comes to light if you want to make first round hits. Barrel nodes... Don't hurt to have that bullet going the same speed your barrel likes best as well. Load work... Ever worked up a load in the winter or early spring and by the time summer came you were blowing primers and ruining brass??? This another good reason to use temp stable powders vs the old IMR's.

Interesting, in that I thought Hodgdon's now owns IMR and markets both brands. If not who does ? Bill K

Yep - just like W760 and H414 are the same powders as are H110 and W296. different label, different name. Seems to me the Reloader series are re-branding of the older Norma powders as well.

I think IMR has been slow to move to the temperature insensitive powders, let alone cleaner burning. IMR, Hodgdon and Winchester powders are all owned by the same company, that may have been part of it. I switched to Hodgdon powders because they have extreme powders. If the accuracy is still there, all the better!
