I think you will find that IMR powders are not re-badged ADI Powders. IMR (DuPont Corp) is a Canadian Powder Manufacturer.

IMR4198 is ADI's AR2207, at least as far as I can work out it is. ADI powders are also manufactured in Canada. I read that Hodgdon were selling AR2207 as H4198, but when they bought IMR about twenty years ago they dropped the H4198 and stayed with the IMR4198 version.

As soon as I find it again I will post what I have for comments as soon of the powders I didn't recognise, so will need to know if there are equivalent powders in Australia


I happened to be looking at Berger bullets just now and noticed they offer the 105gn VLD and 108gn Elite for hunting bullets. With BC's of .545 and .559. Being a little heavier they probably won't launch at 2400fps, but they would retain their velocity for longer. Launching the 108gn at 2300fps it's still doing 1600fps by around 480m. Of course, being Bergers they're probably unobtainable here now.
