300 win mag powder question

[Nvhunter92]

I'm starting to work up a load for my browning X bolt in .300 win mag. I'd like to use 180gr accubonds at a COAL of 3.54" which is .020" off lands. I want to use H4831sc powder but am unsure of a good min and max load to use. I can't find that powder published on nosler' load data. Any recommendations on where to start?

Just use data for any 175-180 gr bullet just start low and work up. Reloading manuals min and max are guidelines not gospel.

69gr-73gr of H4831 with a Speer 180gr per Hodgdon manual.
My go to load long ago was 75 gr H4831 with a 180 Nosler partition, 71gr H4350 was also very accurate with same bullet.
Start low and work up like venatic said and you'll be fine.
One thing I noticed in mine and my buddies rifles when loading Accubonds is they like some jump, if you don't get results you like try around .075 off lands
