What powder with what's available.

I see H1000 available fairly often. That is a great powder for these. Ramshot products, thought I've not used them extensively get good reviews in this category as well. I'm primarily a Hodgdon guy though. Hold out for H1000, my opinion..
H1000 is an Australian powder from ADI it's AR2217
 
H4831 SC and IMR 4350 for my .270 Win; 270 Weatherby Mag and 30-06. These two powders are good for 90 Plus percent of my Hunting Loads. When I start loading for the 300 Weatherby Mag, I will try 7828 SC , RL 25 and H 1000, if I can find 2 or 3 pounds of each. With the scarcity of Fed 215 M Primers, I don't have the freedom to experiment with various powders, as much as I used too. I miss that !! I have no interest in making up a load using a hard-to-find powder. 78 to 79 Grn. of H 4831, may be old school boring , but it will give me 3000 fps , with a 180 Grn. bullet , out of a 26 inch barrel , in the 300 Weatherby .
 
Not sure but how about 7828? I know it worked well in my .340 which is basically a belted LM. And for dang sure it perks in a Big 7.
