I have had great success with ADI's AR2213SC which is also H4831. I use this for 150 gr to 210 grain projectiles.

Yes. Tasmania in fact where on one day you can freeze your arse off and the next be in shorts and T shirt sweating your guts out. Lol
That is why I prefer ADI powders ( Hodgon extreme) as the same point of aim an velocity ist achieved regardless of the weather.

To be honest I have not yet tried the 2217 powder. I might have to give it a try. Yes cold here too atm. Those bloody pigs are a menace. Don't have much of an issue with pigs down here though, mostly deer issues. Those pigs can get pretty big, make the American variety look like piglets. They movie "razor back" wasn't all that far from the truth. Haha.
I load a 338 lapua for a client that loves to shoot them from a distance so they dont get spooked. Drops them like a rock.
I have done 2 rigs and both enjoyed a full diet of IMR4451. Super accurate with 178 ELDX and burns very clean. I was really happy with both rifles performance.

H1000 first, RE 22 and RE 26 second.
For years my elk load has been H1000 and 180 Partitions.
I find that RE 26 and 220 grain Noslers are more accurate at 3/4 MOA. But 180 and H1000 is hard to beat ~ accurate enough at about 1 1/4MOA, less recoil and flatter shooting.
These groups were shot at 100 yards and were 5 shot groups.

I use IMR 4350 with Remington 9 1/2 primers (standard primers, not magnums) and load to 70 grains. It duplicates or exceeds factory loads from a 24 inch barrel and gives me 5 shot groups of 1 inch or less at 100 yards, depending on the make of the projectile (Sierras and Nosler BTs are generally under .65in. and Speers around .75 inches.). MVs of 2950 up to 3050fps with these powders is what I get from my Remington 700 with 24 inch barrel. I haven't chronographed the 26 inch barreled Remington yet. I'm just lazy, I guess.

Getting some good ideas from this post so went down the loading room, and I've loaded 5 lots of Barnes 180TTSX over AR2217 and a Federal 215m will be shooting Tuesday night down the local long range club under lights , never been there before so should be interesting I'll post the results when I get back
I switched to AR2217 when we had a shortage of AR2213sc over here two years ago and haven't gone back ,
very easy to get a load so far in both my .300WM's with it
My barrel is a Rock Creek heavy Palma match at 31inches plus a terminator T3
