Actually I live in northern Maine, but I was through Berlin on my way to Vt last month heading to hunting camp. I stopped in with the friend I was riding with so he could pick up his Vt license and was looking around and spotted the powder. The trading post in my home town charges $28 (+tax) so when I saw it for $15.87 (no tax) I picked up 3 lbs of my favorite powder (IMR 4350). The store is fairly new and the folks are very eager to help you, and order whatever you want that they don't have. I was very impressed. I wish I did live a little closer.

thanks, Blaine.
General question: is there something I don't know about h4350 vs imr4350?
It seems everyone talks about imr4350?

IMR smokeless powders have been around a long time and have a very loyal following. IMR4350 used to be made by IMR and Du Pont and was bought out by Hodgdon who also makes H4350. The have similar names, but slightly different burning rates and load charges. Hodgdon says they will retain the IMR line and not make any changes. They have a website at www.hodgdon.com. All the best...

I checked the Yahoo currency converter and $72.00 New Zealand is equal to $50.07 U.S. Wow! You guys pay a lot for powder. All the best...
