elkcountry,

Apparently you missed all the posts that already stated the same thing.

Personally, I would choose H4350, for two reasons:

First, because it's "short-cut" granules are enough smaller than IMR4350's that more powder can fit into the 7mm-08 case. I have played considerably with both powders in the 7mm-08, and found the edge goes to H4350 for that very reason. (As an alternate would go with IMR4451, which is very similar in burn-rate to H4350 (and IMR4350), but is double-based so usually results in a little more velocity.

Second, because H4350 (and IMR4451) are more temperature-stable than IMR4350. This doesn't make a lot of difference in the 7mm-08, but does in the .30-06 and, especially, the 7mm Remington Magnum. Any powder becomes more temp-stable (resulting in better accuracy overall) when the case is filled with powder, or especially slightly compressed.
