[QUOTE="Gunpoor, post: 160716, member: 8358"] Just had another thought. It really doesn't matter how the powder granules are shaped, but what does matter is burn rate. A faster powder doesn't require as dense of load to produce the same amount of chamber pressure as a slower powder. With that in mind you might see if you can find data for the bullet you are wanting to shoot in your 300WSM for H4895. This is a good powder and has a somewhat faster burn rate even though it is stick powder. I have used it in 22/250, 243Win, and 204 Ruger, and have also known it to be used for some 45/70 loads. It has great versatility, but be sure to reduce 10% from max load and work up from there because even though it is a fairly predictable powder it can be more unforgiving than a lot of other stick powders on the high end.
