RE: 300 Win Mag
I have had good results 7828 in 300's I load for.
4831 and RL22 should also work fine.
As far as the best powder that depends on your rifle, bullet, etc. Only way is trial and error.

Another powder that is often overlooked for the .300 Win Mag is IMR 4350. Although most of the slower powders can make 100 fps or so more speed, this powder can often shoot some really good groups - with some real narrow SD's of velocity. Particularly with lighter bullets - like 150 grains.

Quite a few folks lately are shooting these Berger VLD's for hunting bullets. The DVD "Beyond Belief" features, I understand, a 168 Berger VLD coming out of a 7MM wildcat similar in performance to a 7 STW. I used this bullet in a 7 Rem Mag this year a killed a cow elk at over 400 yards - bang/flop on a high shoulder shot. Accuracy, as you might expect, is generally as good as it gets with these match quality bullets.
