Friends, need an advice for reloading my 300wby. Usually I use Norma MRP, but it will be totally unavailable for the next 10/12 months.
I have H 4831 and IMR 4350.
I use Norma brass (fired/ full lenght reformed/trimmed at 2.815"), Fed 215, and I'd like to try TSX BT 180.
My rifle is a Sauer 90 with 65cm barrel (almost 26"), 1 in 11".
I know that Barnes gives IMR 4350 as a suitable powder for this bullet, but I'd like to know if anyone actually use it, since it seems to me a bit too much on the fast side.
As mentioned, I also have some H4831 - that seems to me more suitable, but I can't find any load recipe.
I would appreciate your opinion.
Many thanks.

See the attachment. The load listed for H4831SC is interchangeable with H4831. The SC is just for short cut, it's otherwise the exact same powder as the regular cut powder.

You can find the same information if you follow this link and click on the 300 Weatherby Magnum.

Thank you Phil, by now the site won't open, I'll try later on
Good info from a good source - good to have you confirm that I can use 4831 and SC as the same, I still have couple cans of it! Have a good day!

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?

if you still have the 375 ruger dies, I would be happy to buy them from you
