You can't beat H4831. It's all I've ever used. Tried a couple others just for fun. They can come close to H4831 but can't outdo it.

If I was going to use a Reloader powder it would RL22. 19 is similar in burn rate to 4350 and 22 is close to 4831. You'll get your highest velocities from either 4831 or RL22.

I like the 4350, it can be used in a lot of cal's. You will want to find what your gun like first before you buy a bunch of powder. :twocents:

My buddy and I have found that the RL-19 works very well for the .270 and 7MM but the Rl-22 seems to work better for the 300WM and larger. :twocents:

In my experience, H4831 is perfect for the 270 Win. and H4350 for the 30/06. The 270 needs a little slower powder. Of course the 4350's do work well enough in the 270. I tried it once and had good results, but not good enough to make me switch.

I have tried it as well but had better groups at the same velocity with the 19, I use the 140gr Noslers.

4831 is famous in the .270


But I use accurate 3100
