powder choices

[Steve]

In belted magnum cases, or even the wsm's, which powders do you like the best? Also in your opinion which is the cleanest burning?
Choices of H1000, H4350, H4831sc, or the IMR copys.
V-V N-160 or N165.

I also asked this over on benchrest central forum.

Don't forget RL-22 and 25. They burn very clean in my 7 short mag.

My current 1,000 yard plus load is H1000, because it tolerates teh Nevade heat bit better, but my prior load was RL-25; great ES and SD, and better velocity. 100% powder burn in the barrel, and it was nice and easy to clean.

Belted Magnums to WSM"S leaves the playing field to wide open, do you plan on shooting light or heavy bullets. I use RL-22 in my 300Win Mag with 180Gr. bullets and N-540 in my RSAUM with 165 Gr. bullets. There are a whole bunch of powders in between. Both of those powders however do burn very clean.

Thanks a lot for the info.

I will be shooting a 300wsm with 210 bergers with a 30 inch barrel in f-class since there isn't any 1000 yard benchrest in Texas.

Currently it's a 30-338 shooting 180'smk's with H4831sc, just wondered what others have tried and hopefully the info will narrow down my search on powder choices.

Thanks again
