IMR 4831 and H 4831 was

IMR 4831 and H 4831 was always my powder of choice with the .300 Win Mag. RE-19 would work well, and I've heard some guys say the IMR 4350 works. I always used Magnum primers also b/c it's difficult to get consistent powder ignition when loading more than 60, 65 grains of powder. Good luck and enjoy

There is alot of good powders

Here is the scenario... you sit in your 2 piece climbing stand and your foot inadvertently bumps the lower section while there is no weight on it - and it slides down the tree, out of reach! OK, you are safe - you have a string tied from the upper section that you are sitting on and the foot portion that slid 4-5 feet down the tree. All you have to do it pull the other section up, reposition it and you are back in business, correct? Maybe! Have you ever tested this theory? I have -...
