I have not gotten around to H4350. Yet. But, I have had good results so far with IMR 3031 (best so far), 4064, 4895, and RE7 and several different 180gr moulds: RCBS 180FP, 311291, and Lee C309-180-R. Soon to be tested (when some of the snow melts and I can find the target butts down at the range) will be BL-C(2) as I have a pound of it to play with next. If you think Lee's listed loads may be a little hot, start a little lower, but I have found no problems with them in .30-30 and .308.
:-D Thank-you VERSIFIER for the info. Sorry about all your snow. Lived in QUEBEC in MY YOUTH and spent lots of summer time in N.H. on my bike and sports cars BIG BEAR.p.s. think i will go to the range (if it rains) and up into the mountains if its sunny. will try out the ,06 and my .50 cal flinter.
tried out my handloads of 180gr.cast/45gr. H 4350 in my .30-06.(Wlr-M primers). mild recoil and 1.5-1.75" 4 shot groups at 100 yards. took a 12x12 fir block to try penatration. clear thru every time. my 220 gr. hornady rn with 51 gr. H 4350 made it thru to 7-8 inches. ( .50 cal 180gr. PRBs made it to 4+ inches )(70 gr. fffg B.P.) [smilie=w: put smile on OLD FARTS face BIG BEAR
