My current load is 67gr of RL-19 with 180 Accubonds and CCI 250 primers.  I have been playing around with the RL-17 but initially havent gotten the same results with that yet as I am the RL-19.

I would like to start a load using H4350 but I havent been able to get my hands on any.

My two 300 WSM's (both T3's) shoot 180gr. TSX's into cloverleafs using Reloder 22, Fed. 215 Mag primers and Norma brass in a very compressed load.

I strive for compressed loads in all my handloads and RL22 with these 180gr. TSX's gets me exactly that.  In fact, I use RL 22 also in my 25-06 and 270 WSM and couldn't be happier.  I go with a bit slower RL 25 in my 300 RUM using 200gr. NP's. I tried, but couldn't find a powder that would get me a compressed load in that case.......it would take over 100grs.+.

:tup: I run 180g accubonds with IMR 4350 in my 300wsm tikka. They shoot very well. I ran the 190g bergers and they shot well but I think I am going back to the accubonds this year.

Problems with the bergers? I've ran both but hunted with the bergers only my longer range shots over the last few years, no kills with a accubond yet. I'm on the fence about which to go with.

RL17 with 180 accubonds was the recipe for my 8400 Montana

 I've shot a bunch of elk, quite a few deer, and a bear with the 168 Berger VLD's loaded by HSM. Deadly bullet at any range and great groups for me!
