[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1624248, member: 74902"] H4350 is [U]the[/U] powder for 300 WSM. Lots of 300 WSM shooters use it. A 180 gr bullet behind 64 gr. of H4350 and F210M primer is a classic load. I use it with 185 Berger VLD and 180 Nosler bullets. I get 2950 FPS with the 64 Gr. load and a Berger 185 VLD with a 24" barrel. I don't shoot the Hammers, so can't comment on them. But would just start at a mid-range load of 60. gr and work up. Hodgdon has load data online. Hornaday list the H4350 starting load at 54.8 gr. and list max at 65.2 with 2950 FPS. I'm not a big fan of RL26. Fast? Sure. Accurate? Not so much. I have also experienced high and erratic SD with it. 300 WSMs like faster powders than the classic slow burning magnum powders. This is due to the short fat powder column. RL22 is a great 300 WSM powder for 180s too. Alliant has data for it online also. [/QUOTE]
