Friends, need an advice for reloading my 300wby. Usually I use Norma MRP, but it will be totally unavailable for the next 10/12 months.
I have H 4831 and IMR 4350.
I use Norma brass (fired/ full lenght reformed/trimmed at 2.815"), Fed 215, and I'd like to try TSX BT 180.
My rifle is a Sauer 90 with 65cm barrel (almost 26"), 1 in 11".
I know that Barnes gives IMR 4350 as a suitable powder for this bullet, but I'd like to know if anyone actually use it, since it seems to me a bit too much on the fast side.
As mentioned, I also have some H4831 - that seems to me more suitable, but I can't find any load recipe.
I would appreciate your opinion.
Many thanks.

See the attachment. The load listed for H4831SC is interchangeable with H4831. The SC is just for short cut, it's otherwise the exact same powder as the regular cut powder.

You can find the same information if you follow this link and click on the 300 Weatherby Magnum.

Thank you Phil, by now the site won't open, I'll try later on
Good info from a good source - good to have you confirm that I can use 4831 and SC as the same, I still have couple cans of it! Have a good day!

Hello there. I’ve been wanting to introduce myself personally & chat with you about hunting Nilgai. Give me a call sometime…

+1 Great to deal with. I purchased custom rifle. No issues.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary

Booked with Harold Grinde - Gana River - they sure kill some good ones - who'd you get set up with?
