Does anyone have a favorite powder for 300 Wsm, Im fairly new in the reloading world just looking for some different outlooks, im hoping to find a good powder that I can use in 30-06 as well to save costs, im having no luck finding my first choice of powder the H4350, or the IMR4350 in edmonton, any other ideas on a decent choice thats relatively easy to find ? I know powder is somewhat scarce, thxs for any help
 
Hodgens Hybrid 100v worked really well for myself as well as IMR7828 in the .300wsm with bullets in the 165-180 range. 100v would do really well in .30-06 as well. Not sure about 7828 in the .30-06.
 
My 300 WSM is working great with the 165 GMX and 6x grains of Reloder 17.

Itty bitty groups and great velocities. Have not used it on game yet, though.

Reloder 17 should work well in the 30-06 as well.

Regards, Dave.
 
Accuracy Load: XMR-4350/ 66.5grs. 2900fps/ 3362ft. lbs.
Hunting Load: Viht N560/ 71.1grs. 2950fps/ 3479ft. lbs

From Sierra for 180 grain bullets, and . . .

Accuracy Load: H4895/ 57.8grs. 3000fps/ 3358ft. lbs.
Hunting Load: Varget/ 59.7grs. 3050fps/ 3471ft. lbs.

for 165-168 grain bullets.
 
I can second the IMR 4831 works best for me with the 180's and good on the 165's too. I had best velocity and accuracy with Hybrid 100V and 165 grain bullets but IMR 4931 was the clear winner for the 180's.
 
i like imr4350 the best followed by rel17. i get better accuracy with imr but better velocity with rel17. either works well.
