This build is just something I want to try, I already have most of the components, mostly looking for powder advice.......

30" Bartlein 5r, 1-12 twist. I decided to make it a 300 RUM, and because of the slow twist, it was suggested to me to try
these 135-gr bullets:


I'm pretty sure this will be a mid range laser.
I don't think the bullet will seat very deeply, probably not deeper than the body/shoulder junction.

I suspect I will need a "relatively" fast burn powder. What do you all think of starting with H4350 ? Or what else ?
I don't have QuickLoad, and do not own current times reload manuals yet, so it's hard for me to guess at a starting load point.

I thought I would start here asking the brain trust.
Thanks much Gents !
