In my 24" Ruger 1H, I was able to safely attain up to 2980 fps from the 300 TSX, and into very tight and consistent 3-shot groups at 100 yds. And, from the same H4198, 2780 fps from the 350 TSX shot into sub-MOA. I'm not authorising psi, but those appeared completely safe in my rifle, and I wouldn't shun from using them in the field. In fact, the 300 TSX became one of my all-time favorites from that rifle. Alas, I shot them all up in load development and practice.

However, agreed that the 400 Shock Hammer is preferred as an "all-rounder".

Sir Bob,
Ditto all the above including a double-ditto for emphasis on the H4198 over IMR-4198.
RL-7 might do it too, only with more lot-to-lot variation and more temperature sensitivity/instability
than with good ol' H4198.
