A magnum that uses H4831?

I could load pretty much every cartridge I care about with 4895 4350 and 4831

And honestly I could do it all with 4350 if I needed, but if you use 4831 for creed even better. Any of the vintage magnums can shoot 4831
 
My Weatherby Accumark loves IMR 4831 and ballistic silvertips but I am considering switching to 150 gr. Accubonds. To much meat damage and I had one recovered bullet that had 90 gr. Left after passing through a coyote. Might sound unbelievable but this did happen. Shooting down hill, passed through the yote into a water puddle, mud flew and was laying on a oak leaf. Looked like someone had placed it there. I took it home and measured it and sure enough base measured .284. Strange but true.
 
I run h4831 in my 300 WBY. Around 3100 fps with a 180 Accubond. Also run a 120 ttsx in a 264 Win Mag at 3400. H4831 is extremely versatile and if I was to buy a surplus of any powder for the next shortage, it would be h4831.
There’s always a powder that will provide better velocity in a given magnum cartridge, but h4831 seems to fit the bill well and not lag behind much.
 
The SAUMs and WSMs with heavies could work well with H4831.

I would think H4350 / RL16 with your 22 CM, 6.5 CM + 300 wsm with 190s or 200s is a potentially awesome lineup.
 
I can run it in 270, 7rm and 300 WM. I’m only shooting 180s in my 300. I hit pressure signs in my 7rm with 4831 and 160 nabs in the 2900+ range , so I switched to h1000 for 180 eldm. However, since I’ve switched to Remington primers I haven’t found max pressure yet in either rifle and I may visit 4831 again with rem primers. Right now 4831 is available every where every day and rem mag primers are all I can find. Bye bye cci.
 
One other change was to Peterson brass on the 7RM. That Covid era Nosler brass (all I could buy) would start incipient line case head separation at 5-7 reloads. So another change that warrants revisiting 4831.
