+1 for the imr powders, .223 is a tack driver with the 3031 and 50 gr v-max and cci #41 primers. 25-06 and .270 shoot 4831 very well as well. The only rifle I have that I do not shoot imr in is the 7mm rem mag. My pet load for that calls for 139 gr sst's and reloader 19 powder. when I start shooting reloads out of my 7.62x54R, I hope it will like the 3031 as well.
