What to do:

Go immediatly to your local gun store and buy all the IMR 4007 SSC with that lot number you can find. Then have the powder you really want shipped to you at no charge.

LOL

Hey!! Great idea except for one thing. It's been removed from all the shelves around here [if they had any in the first place]...

Six lots. Seems like someone screwed up really bad. Glad I don't use it but not feeling good about all the other IMR powders in my stock. Going to open every container and check for signs of deterioration. Brown colour and strong acidic smell benig the most observable.

And check your loads too?
I experienced that when powder deteriorates inside a case, the acid attacks the brass making it more brittle and even welding the bullet to the case. When you have a lot of split necks in older loads, take some apart and check the neck of the case and the base of the bullet.
(the powder will also have that characteristique HNO³ smell)
