Hey guys, I just picked up a Kimber 8400 P in 300 WM and I'm looking for some advice on powders that have worked well for you guys. I have one 300 already, and a 308 Norma Mag. I have been reloading for 17 years or more but just started with the 300 a couple years ago and haven't really played with the powders other than IMR 4350 and IMR 4831.
I'm looking for the most consistent and accurate powder as I will be turning this into one of my competition shooters. I have some RE 25 which is the only non IMR powder that I have but I will buy a pound of whatever on good advice. Not looking for any load data just who has had good accuracy out of what powder. I'm looking to tweek this down to at least a 0.5" rifle.

R-22 would be worthwhile checking out.

I am no competition shooter but my 300 Win Mag liked H 4831 sc and 180 grain accubonds.

My 300 Win Mag prefers IMR 4831 and RL 22.

does anybody else get very bad barrell fowling by using R-22, or is it just me?
