Question powders for... .270wsm and 338winmag

If u had a chance to buy a bunch of powder in H4831 and H4350 and want to reload for the .270wsm and .338 win mag


Would you buy some of each or....

All of which one? I see data for both powders but which one loads up better for the mentioned cartridges mentioned... bases on everyones experiences.

My powders of choice for 338wm was IMR 4350, for 270 WSM, I used RL 19. Either powder you are looking at will work, it's likely going to be more determined by the bullet you choose.

Default Imr 4350

Sees use in 338 Win Mag. 270wsm. 243 and 22-250 but I am down to 1/2 a pound left.

Use Varget and H414 and H335 as well.

IMR 4350 is pretty versatile.

Just about time to do a Higginson bulk order I guess.
