Neither powder is what I would choose.
If you want the best possible performance go for H1000.
Nosler Accubond 180g H1000 max 81g. WLRM or FED215.

Cheers.

As with anything else, YMMV. Between the two, "I" would go with the H4831SC.

I've used a lot of the 4350 powders and Reloader 22 in my 300 Win Mags,then I tried Hunter powder.It's burnrate is around IMR4831 and loads close to it.This was my test load results.
Bergara has a 24" barrel.Sako has a 26" barrel

As always thank you guys for all the support! I was actually able to find some h1000 at scheels today for a pretty decent price and 4 were the same lot so i bought them. Like i said only have about a pound left of rl22 which is about 100 rounds. I wasn't blessed like the rest of you on supplies while they were good. I started reloading during the "pandemic" so it has been hard to stock up. Luckily i grew up reloading with my dad who left me most all of his stuff. Primers and powder were pretty much non existent. 1k 210 1k 215 various powder bullets and tons of components which i am grateful for. A lot were out dated which i upgraded but the co ax press is still running hard for me. I got a v3 dispenser which was life changing compared to the old $100 rcbs (20-30 years old) that works but wasn't as precise. I was trying to find powders i could run in multiple calibers and stop chasing high priced hard to find powder that's why i picked h4831sc and h4350. I knew h1000 was highly sought after but finding it and for a decent price was hard. Kind of getting tired of reworking loads for 1lb jugs (after an old lot was done) so i was trying to swtich to 8lb'ers. I did a lot of research in my manuals for most of my calibers and it seemed h4350 h4831sc and 4064 came up on most of my calibers so that's what is was chasing.

Anyways i got my 300 win mag stuff back up and going after my FIL asked me to reload for his 300wm so that's what brought me down this rabbit hole. Going through my dad's old logs from the early 2000's i saw he had a bunch of data on Imr4350, h4831sc, rl22, h414 and others. So i figured it would be good to pursue. Since i started a few years ago with 6.5cm I had a bunch of h4350 then went to 308 so my buddy runs varget in his bolt i reload for him and i run 4064 in my gas 308. Got my 300wm running off all my dads old logs and rl22 that he reloaded for me when i was 15 still likes the same recipe. Started reloading a few pistol rounds on the single press which really makes you work for it

But just wanted to say thank you all! It really brings me back to my younger years sitting in the reloading room helping out. I think i'll still work up a few powders for my 300wm and my FIL's 300wm and see what they like. The h1000 side tracked me but looking at the nosler manual it should be the right move for him. I will play with h1000 h4831sc and h4350 for my tikka 300wm and see what the results are. Then onto the 250x3000ai, 300h&h, and 338 that was left to me. Sorry for the long rant but going through all the logs yesterday really brought it full circle for me. You guys are just like all the reloaders my dad had around as a kid. Always trying to help other reloaders out that you have never met or just met for the first time.

This is an old load of mine using H4831SC (75.5g) and 190 Berger at 3043 FPS out of SAKO M995 TRG-S in .300 WM 23.5" 1:11." I was using CCI250 and Winchester brass, .015" off the lands. Below is a 5-shot group at 200 yards. I harvested an MT bull elk with this load at 931 yards in 2012.

**** Feenix that is an awesome group for a shorty 300 at 200 yards. Looks like a need to try some bergers as well. I just have always had good luck with accubonds on elk. But all my buddies that shoot and harvest pretty long all say bergers. And makes sense now to just up in grains with all the newer bullets at heavier weights having good bc and still netting 3k fps

H4831/SC is a fantastic powder for 300WM, it won't be the absolute fastest velocity but as far as consistency across any weather and accuracy it's going to be near impossible to beat.

Good to know H4831SC works, I'm about to start loading 180 HH with that powder!
