Another powder that is advertised for low recoil loads is accurate 5744 and it is available. I haven't found any H4895 for quite a long time.

I can't find it anymore but H4895 works with nearly everything. IMR 4895 is pretty similar

I have a new, unopened bag of Hornady 300wsm brass. I believe it's 50 pieces. Make me an offer if interested

I found some info here, is there an official list of lot numbers somewhere? Google hasn't helped me find one https://singleactions.proboards.com/thread/16800/winchester-primer-recall

They are on ammoseek.com with good reviews. I haven't personally purchased from them https://ammoseek.com/ratings/345

Thank you!

I'm hoping for some QuickLoad reassurance on a reloading situation I'm in. I successfully sized down some starline 7.62x39 brass to 6mm ARC and things went great with the first batch of 20 - I used a full on book load. My 2nd batch of 20, I used 100gr sierra gamekings and a reduced load of...

I saw a thread a few weeks ago about pressure spikes due to really cold weather. I don't know if that affected your situation but something to think about

Is that powder a possibility for the 6mm arc? I see load data for 6mm ppc so maybe it could work?

IMR 4166 is similar to varget in burn speed. I have good shooting loads in my 223, 243, 308 and 300wsm using this powder.

Edit: never mind, they are out of stock :( I found 300 wsm brass on bertrambrass.com but I don't know anything about that site and have never used that brand. Anyone have any first hand experience with them?

Don't go below the minimum powder charge. Also, it sounds like you might not know which powder you have. If that is the case, don't reload at all.

Looks like they put on a 10 twist barrel, unfortunately. I didn't look at a twist calculator but I think you'd be able to stabilize some of the 90 grain bullets. You'll want to check that though with the bullet manufacturer http://tikka.fi/sites/default/files/masterW.pdf

Disclaimer, I gave up on long range hunting but I still enjoy reloading/shooting a ton. So... I tried the same experiment a few years ago for 223 rem, 243 win, 308 win and 300wsm. I settled on IMR 4166. I had to be flexible on my bullet choice, especially for the 300wsm. 175's are the heaviest...

IMR 4166 is real close to Varget in burn rate. It also includes the copper reducer stuff. I've used in in my 223, 243, 308, and 300 WSM with great results
