Ok I'm confused, I'm about to work up a load for the 200gr Accubonds in my 300 Win Mag and don't know which powder to use.
I do like the Hodgdon powder for their temp stability as I'm doing a load workup in 80F weather but hunt in 10F weather.
I read that a number of knowledgeable folks here feel the H1000 is right for the bullet weight. And to back that up a load setup with H1000 would produce a lower peak pressure (read less throat erosion) than H4831 for the same mv.
But on the flip side H4831 is considered the standard 300 Win Mag powder, not only that but Nosler recommends it as the accuracy load for their 200gr Partition loads. Also the NC 1000yd club seems to use it more than the H1000. FYI When I called Nosler for load info on the 200gr Accubonds they said it is the same as the 200gr Partition.
So if anyone cares to shed some light on the subject I'd appreciate it.
