Bringing this one back up for some follow up questions.

I ended up buying  a 1 lb bottle of H4350 and had very good results with it at 40 grains with a 220 grain RN FMJ bullet. I was able to find load data in nearly all recent reloading manuals to back up my work as well and was very happy with the results.

I went to buy some more H4350 this weekend and all the local vendors were out of stock so I grabbed some IMR-4350 instead since that's all they had. Looking through a few reloading manuals on their shelves I didn't see any data for IMR-4350 loads using a 220 grain bullet, only H4350 (I will say the reloading manual selection was small). Some quick web research seems to indicate that newer IMR-4350 is not quite the same as old IMR-4350 (not sure why) and that H4350 is a "better" powder due to being more consistent and temperature stable. 

With all of this, I know a lot of guys here load up 40 grains of IMR-4350 with a 220 grain RN FMJ with good results. My question is:

Does anybody have reloading data from reloading manuals that are no more than about 3 years old they can post with IMR-4350 (not H4350) loads using a 220 grain RN FMJ?   

Thanks in advance.
