In the 25-06, 270 & 280, RL22 is tops, IMO.
It also is really good in the 243 with heavier bullets.
Don't know about the "etc" though............

Jason-- It is my experience that H4831SC and the older (and no longer produced I think) H4831 have exactly the same properties except for the length of the kernel. Therefore, the two powders are interchangeable by weight as used by me in my rifles.
For example, I use xx.x grains of H4831SC in a .300 Win. Mag. loading under a 180 grain Nosler Partition. This is precisely the same weight of H4831 I used years ago before Hodgdon started marketing the H4831SC.
Furthermore as I indicated above, I believe that Hodgdon's has ceased production of the older, long-kernel form of the powder that was named H4831.
Jayhawk Dan H4831 is still available--at least when you can find powder on the shelves!  Donning my flameproof suit..... I use a lot of H4831, and have burned a few pounds of H483SC, and have found in some loads in some rifles, the SC burned a bit faster--at least according to my chrono...... Casey H 4831 is still produced... at least you can get it locally at my powder store... they seem to have no problem getting it when they put in powder orders...Powder Valley still lists it as a regular stocked item..

So, how does the H4831sc compare with the standard H4831? There is roughly a 4% difference in load density between the short cut powders and their original cuts due to granular size difference. Load density does play a part in consistency and jumping from one to the other probably will not produce the same results. H-4831 or RL-22 should provide the results you are looking for a one powder armament.
