H4350 - am I doing it wrong?

I've not had winning experiences with H 4350 either. I've been very pleased with IMR 4350 and a 168ish gr bullet in 30.06. I've had great results with some Alliant Powders but other than burning up what I already have, because of they're no longer available, I ignore that brand for anything new that I'm doing. Few good things happen when one company buys another. In this case, Vista Outdoors acquiring Alliant.

Agreed - I've had some great luck with Alliant powders over the years R15 and AR-Comp in 308 and 5.56, R16 in 30-06, etc. But at this point, I really doubt I'll ever see them in stock again in my lifetime, or if I do, they'll be $80+ a pound.

I have recently just started playing with Ramshot hunter on a lark (it was least expensive stuff in the store I could use for plinking loads in my 7x57 so as not to burn all my good powder playing around). Lo and behold - some shockingly good accuracy resulted. So I'm going to do some more serious experiments with it to see if it a) can get even better accuracy in 7x57 if I tune a little, and b) if it works good in 7x57, it's worth a try in 30-06 and probably 6.5 CM.

Otherwise, V N555 looks like a vaugely acceptable R16 replacement, and is in stock fairly often (how weird is it when a V powder is suddenly a 'budget' choice next to Alliant? crazy times).
