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? I've have excellent results with both IMR4451 and Reloder 16 in the cartridge range mentioned, plus with the 243 Win and 6mm Creedmoor. If forced to pick between those two it would depend on which one I could find in an 8 LB jug for the best price.
Pursuit may be, it seems to me, perfect without possession. Robert Kelley Weeks (1840-1876)

RL16 Temperature stable. A little more speed, and very accurate.

I have plenty of H4350 still, mainly for use in.30-06. I have found Re16 to work just as well and have plenty of that too. That supply is backed up with a generous supply of StaBALL which I've not even opened yet. I figure I am set. I'm also stocked with a bit pf H4831 for whatever and I know it works well with 180s.
One of the guys at my club was out there yesterday shooting hin PRS rig, and was loading the Shooters World version of 4350. I asked him about it and he said it worked okay, but seemed to be slower burning than the other 4350s.
I tried 4451 several years ago, but it didn't seem to measure up for my purposes and I abandoned it but I’ll bet I just didn't work it enough to find a sweet spot.
I think there are plenty of good options but future availability seems to he the question of the day.
