H4831sc for 300 win mag

[INgunner54]

Anybody using this powder for 300 win mag? I usually load a 180gr accubond over 78.5 gr of H1000. Nowhere near me has H1000 but there seems to be plenty of the 4831 around. Hate to switch, but hate to not shoot even more.

Try it. I have both and the H4831sc is a good substitute. How long is your barrel?

It's a 24" Tikka t3

I have found H4831SC to be more accurate and faster than H1000. It's one of my favorite .300 WM powders. Don't overlook the old stand-by IMR 4350 behind your 180 grain pills.

I would say with a 24” you might even see BETTER performance out of the H4831

Sweet!! I'll pick some up and give it a try. Thank you guys, I appreciate it! I'll let you know what I find out. I do have about a half pound of 4350 I can try that first and see what happens.

Any thing under 200 grain bullets get H4831 in my tikka t3 300 wm...

Agree I use the load in the nosler manual for the 200 gr as well.

I'm using it with a 210 Berger. In my rifle, H1000 was not as accurate. RL22 did well but I was a little concerned about temp stability. I think I'm at 72 grains and get around 2850ish fps

I run 70 grains behind 180 grain Partitions. IMR 4350 has worked well for my .270 as well.

What's everyone getting good accuracy with for 180gr pills and 4831? Just looking for a starting point so I don't waste a bunch of components. Thanks for the help!

I like H4831SC in the 300 WM.

I've found the exact opposite to be true in my gun. H4831SC was the slowest powder with 180 g Accubonds. RL22 was a much faster and equally accurate powder in my 300 Win Mag.
RL22>H1000>H4831sc

It's been a little bit, but I did get some 4831 SC to try. Found a node and shot some groups. I shot a .6 five shot group today. It's a little slower than H1000, but shoots good. Thanks for the advice, it's good to know that I've got options when one or the other powder is dried up.

Supply of H4831SC is starting to dwindle down too so get what you need for your new load I'd suggest. Could be all of nothing if they restock everything shortly but those powders are having transport regulation issues. I needed a bit more myself so I went ahead and grabbed the 8lb jug to be covered for a while (and have plenty of the same lot of powder).

 

[INgunner54]

Yessir. I'm going to grab at least a couple more pounds if not a keg.

Has anyone tried 4831 with heavier (210gr+) bullets?

RL22>H1000>H4831sc

RL22 often provides good velocity and accuracy in a win mag... it is dual base and not temp stable. For the broad range of temperatures hunting provides, I had to go another route. I felt it was better to sacrifice velocity for consistency. My .02

Could you possibly share your recipe I am having a terrible time using H4831 in a Bergera 300 WM. Right now because of where I live using 180gr Barnes TTSX.

190 Berger in 300 win works well for me with H4831SC
