All loads were Win brass, CCI 200 primers and 100gr Nosler ballistic tips. All groups were 5 shots at 100 yds with plenty of time between to cool the barrel.
These we're my two best loads out of the 10 that I tested. I like the extra 200fps I'm getting with the H4350, but should I stick with the H4831? I'm thinking more for availability than anything else.

200 FPS more? Is that checked with a chronograph?
If I were you I’d load 1/2 grain more of each load, and 1/2 grain less of each load, as well as replicate the posted loads again, and go shoot some groups with those 6 loads.
Then I’d try the best looking groups again, and yet again at 300 yds.
