BB, I got my 30-378 Bee now, and I would like to try the 124's, do you recommend H4350? I helped my friend set this gun up with 150gr TTSXs back in the day at 3593fps. Shoots lights out with that load. But I would like to try the 124's in my BEE, thoughts and recommendations?
Yes Sir H4350 is your best friend with the 124's

I have been working on 137 hammer load with a 20 in barreled 30 nosler . Have a load that shoots pretty good at 3500 fps with n560. Do you think I can get more speed with h4350? I Was thinking about tring n555.
I've never worked with N560 so I really have no clue, All Apologies
Are you able to pressure out the load with N560? Any room left for more powder? If so maybe go the other direction to N565. Unless you can not pressure out and run out of space I can not see N555 working better as not only is it faster but less dense and lower energy. Could be wrong though as I have never tried your combo.
N555 @ 900g /3700j
N560 @ 960g/4000j
N565 @ 960g/4000j
If you have more room and can pressure out N560 I would choose to try N565. It splits N560/N570 in burn rate. Has the same density & energy as N560. It has one step slower burn rate splitting N560/N570 slightly favoring N570. Bump neck tension ½ a thou to speed up the peak faster might dial it in if needed.
My thought on N555 is if you are not able to pressure out N560 then N555 could be a good choice.
I love Vihtavuori powders, both HE and single base. Usually, with a few exceptions, they're the first powders I go for as long as I can find it (rifle and handgun).
Kind of amusing looking for more vel running @3500/20"... lol chasing the dragon tail. I am just as guilty. About to see how much I can get out of a 175HH from a 21.5" 33 S.Max, 3400-3500fps range is the hope.
This is a new term for me……I like it!

N560 hits pressure at 92 gr for me @3644fps. I would guess with a drop tube you could get 95-96 gr without compressing powder.
My guess the PETA Veggie brigade at YouTube. Too bad Google does not spend 1/1000 of its resources downgrading scammer sites than it does looking for politically motivated reasons to block videos. It's quite interesting that no other types of sporting goods or really any other retailer types have scammer sites ranking in the top 20 even top 100. But all shooting reloading searches have almost a majority of first page sites are scammer sites.
ShoNuff that's what happened
Any word on the 124HH in the Bee?
