I wrote that down for later; but what if you had to use what is posted above. What would your starting load be?

I wouldn't mess with 4350 for a lapua, h1000 is probably the fastest burning powder i would go with.

What bullet are you trying to use 4350 with? 92 gr of retumbo with 300 gr bullets or 89 grains of h1000 is always my go to.

Okay the 4350 is out; I can go with H1000 but do you have any thoughts on H4831?

You can look here and see you are leaving about 100 fps on the table vs h1000 or retumbo.

Thanks to everyone who replied. H1000 it is. Next time Retumbo for sure plus a heavier bullet, will try 285gr or 300gr.
