Lot 347:
A Pair of IMR and Hodgdon 4198 Smokeless Rifle Powders Total 2 lbs
Description
This lot features two 1 lb canisters of smokeless rifle powder, comprising one canister of IMR 4198 and one canister of Hodgdon H4198. Both propellants are noted for their fast-burning characteristics and versatility in small-to-medium-capacity rifle cartridges. The IMR 4198 is housed in a black plastic canister with a red screw-cap, featuring a red and white label marked with the IMR logo and “IMR 4198 SMOKELESS POWDER.” The Hodgdon H4198 is part of the Hodgdon Extreme series, contained in a black plastic canister with a black screw-cap and a white, black, and red label. The Hodgdon label includes a “Reloading Data Center” table providing charge weights and bullet specifications for several calibers, including .222 Remington, .223 Remington, 6mm PPC, .35 Remington, .38-55 Winchester, and .444 Marlin. Each canister is marked with a net weight of 1 lb (454 grams) and bears prominent safety warnings including “DANGER! EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.” Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The canisters show surface wear consistent with age and storage. The IMR 4198 label exhibits significant scuffing, paper loss along the edges, and general discoloration, though the primary text remains legible. The Hodgdon H4198 canister shows minor surface scuffing and light dust. Both containers appear to be intact with their respective screw-caps; however, the internal seals have not been verified, and the exact quantity of powder remaining has not been weighed. The powder is sold as-is; we have not tested the chemical stability or performance of these propellants.
