Default New powder made for Weatherby?

Is there a new powder out made especially for Weatherby magnum rounds? I had heard there was, but can't seem to find it anywhere.

Thx

I think H1000 is centered around the Weatherby's. I talked to my smith about it and he said they have a mix that he has not been able to duplicate.

Does this powder add velocity, accuracy or both to a .300 Weatherby Magnum? I'm using RL22 now with IMR4350 running a close second.

There is no way to tell if a given powder will be accurate in a specific rifle without trying it.The same goes for velocity.

Barnes X .308:

I have a 340 Wby. Mag. which I get constant groups under .500&quot; and push a 250gr. Barnes XFB 3060 f/s 5197 ft/lb. using Norma Powder. Good Luck.

Barnes X 308: My 300 Weatherby really likes H-4831.
It's almost impossible to duplicate factory loads because they mix and match differant lots of powder so they can get as close as possible on every lot of ammo.
