[QUOTE="badthirtyone, post: 2266631, member: 9573"] Abe, I've had good to great luck with 200+ gr bullets in 300WM using H4831. While it is not what most would argue is the best powder for that application,[B] [/B]some of my best groups have been shot by loads developed with H4831 and Berger 210's. Yes, H1000 is a "better" powder for your 300, but unless you are sitting on a keg of that, I wouldn't be super disappointed with the 4831. I would think that your barrel is certainly not shot out at that round count, so I think you can (as much as possible) remove that from the equation. One of your issues may simply be that your particular rifle/throat/other specific variables - does not like that combo or bullet. It is repeated here quite often (and most correctly) that you have to figure out the best combo - especially bullet - for YOUR gun. Unfortunately, it sounds like you may have to continue the hunt for a different bullet, or at least, be willing to put in a bunch of work to [I]possibly[/I] get the results you are hoping for with what you have.
