I was wondering which powder would be better in building an accuracy load for a 300 Win. Mag., 180 grains. It seems like most people are using H4350 rather than IMR....on these forums. Perhaps I am wrong on that. I appreciate your advice. I need to try a new powder. I'm having a heck of a time finding the components that I want. It seems like IMR 4350 might be easier to find than H 4350. I haven't been able to find any H 1000 or RL-22 or some heavier bullets.

Get what you can!
My 243AI loves IMR4350 and RL22, it might like H4350 more, and when I can find some, I'll find out.
 
I have used IMR4350 with 190 SMK in 300WM and was happy with it until I found the big Berger 230 gr bullets. Should be able to find good load data from several source, especially Hodgdon data center.
 
I shoot IMR4350 with 190's in my 300. It shoots better than anything I have tried execept H100V. Velocities are about the same with the H100V a bit more accurate, but both do well out to 1000.
 
I figure since I am the new guy I'll put in some help.

IMR 4831 with 200gr Nosler hpbt from m48a at two hundred yards = one inch groups.
Widners usually has a good selection on most things for reloading.
 
I'm using IMR 4350 with 190's and it is a hammer for me. I also shoot it in my .260 with great results.
 
I am working up a load for my Savage 300wm using 210gr VLD's and IMR 4350. Haven't checked velocities yet, but so far 63 grains is getting me MOA or better if I do my part. I have also used 4831sc, RL-22, and IMR 4350 when I was running 180gr SST's, slight favor to 4831, but all three are good.
 
IMR 4350 works very well in the 300WM with bullets 190 gr. and lighter. Use it in my hunting rifle with 185 gr. VLD's and only downside is that it is a little temperature sensitive. Wouldn't hesitate using it at all and my load is 70 gr.
 
I have 23 boxes of Hornady 208gr AMAX if anyone needs any, $37.99/100 and can ship 5 boxes for $5.80 USPS flat rate padded envelope.

Are you not the same guy who is charging $280 for a jug of TAC as well as a dealer advertising on the Hide without first being a paid sponsor??
