If you go back a few years or more, IMR powders were all made in Canada. If the price was OK, I would buy it.

I recently acquired a couple of boxes of old Precision Shooting magazines. On the July 1995 issue, the cover was a part of the Frederick Remington painting of the Rough Riders' charge up San Juan Hill. In the September 1995 issue, there is a Letter to the Editor and several follow-up letters concern...
