If H-4350 all of a sudden no longer existed, what would be its replacement for you guys?
Pick 1 powder for use for 6.5 Creedmoor to 30-06?

Accurate 4350 or AA2700 have been good.

IMR4350 is fabulous with 140s in my Creedmoor and an old school classic in 30-06.
I would also look at IMR4451.

Accurate 4064. It's a bit faster burning and velocites are generally a little pedestrian compared to 4350, but every cartridge I've stuffed it in has shot extremely well with bullet weights from 110-180 grains. I took to using it after IMR 4320 suddenly did no longer exist.
I still have a couple pounds of 4320 squirreled away, but it's for special occasions, and A4064 is the general workhorse for pleasure shooting now.

I switched to RL16 for my 6CMs and the H4350 is relegated to the shed.

RL16 for the 6.5CM here also. Have 2# of H4350 just sitting. Have not tried it in 30-06. Like IMR4064 for the 150gr bullets in 30-06. Have a good load with H4350 and 180gr bullets in the 30-06, but I don't use it much any more.

Depends on how desperate you are. PV had some this morning so it seems like the IMR's and a few others are starting to come back. Just have to keep looking.
I agree that the 4831's do well with heavier bullets.

I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

+1 on that. PV has had it a couple times in the past week. Just ordered a few pounds of IMR3031 and A4064 from them last week.
Out of all the bigger online shops, it seems like they've had the best selection of powder by far for the past month or so. They even had a bunch of Alliant powders a week or two ago, and that stuff has been rarer than a mofo. It was pretty much sold out inside an hour, though.

If H-4350 all of a sudden no longer existed, what would be its replacement for you guys?
Pick 1 powder for use for 6.5 Creedmoor to 30-06? Great question. I was in the shop yesterday thinking about loading up some 30-06, then saw I had 1 pound of H4350 left. I then quickly eyeballed the Big Game I have 5 pounds of. Some guys I've been shooting silhouette matches with say they have been using Staball 6.5 in their creedmoors with excellent results. As long as I own a creedmoor, 30-06, and my 338wm I'll always have H4350 on hand. If I ever saw IMR4451 for sale I'd be half tempted to buy it though. Seems like everyone is raving about that powder. Maybe more of you guys will buy alternatives and it will be easier and easier to find H4350?? Luckily I just bought 5 pounds of H4350 a couple hours ago, so I don't have to resort to other powders just yet...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Everything I use H4350 or H4831 in also works pretty well with the other (6mm Rem., .270 Win., 7x61 S&H Magnum, 7mm Remington Magnum, .30-06, .300 H&H Magnum, and .300 Winchester Magnum).

IMR 4451. Although I have limited experience Mule Deer has mentioned that it performs quite similar to H4350. My experience with IMR 4166 and 7977 Enduron powders is that they really reduce copper fouling. I expect 4451 to do the same.

IMR-4350, RL-17, H100V
But H4350 isn’t going anywhere. Midsouth has some 1lb today.

IMR 4451 or Vectan Tubal 7000 would be (and are on my shelf) as replacements for H4350.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
