300 WSM 210 Berger Favorite powder

Getting ready to start loading my 300 WSM I bought a few hundred 210 Berger VLD's. What powder and what speed are you guys getting? This will be in a short action rifle. I did not think that through but it is what I got for the project gun. SAMMI spec chamber.
 
H-4831sc always works and guarantees small groups.

Single shot or mag fed ? The COAL makes a difference.
Well I am going to be running it mag (AI) fed. I wish I would have used a long action.

A long action mag fed 300 WSM would have been the cats ass. But I did not think things through. I originally was going to run 200 grain bullets through it. But decided go big or go home.
 
I agree with JTMPILOT. RL26 has been amazing in my 300 wsm. Gives the same accuracy as h4350 or h4831sc with much more speed if that matters to you at all. Also fwiw in my experience it likes a 210m primer. When I tried magnums either 215m or cci250 the accuracy and es went out the window.
 
Short action, sammi chamber, 27 in barrel.200 eldx 2.85 coal. 60.6 H-4350, 2850fps (with a Chrony FWIW). WW brass. 210m. Using a 6 in drop tube. Have to pour it in real slow. You can hear the powder when you shake them. Barely. 4831 wouldn't work.
