I have a 300WM and last year I chose H1000 for powder but it has become impossible to find or 3x. What it should be resale taking suggestions thanks

I get great results in my 300-WM with Accurate MagPro ... and it's usually "findable". My recipe is 78.4gr of MagPro and Berger 200.20x bullets. I get single-digit SD's and an average velocity of 3057. I honestly think MagPro is a really good secret.
IMR 7828SSC Why? Because it is probably the easiest to obtain in these crazy times.

RL26, Retumbo, N565, but honestly ive seen H1000 and 4831 available the most out of these powders, just have to keep an eye out
26 has been the easiest of the group to find for me, but I don't see it as particularly similar, even though it is right next door on the charts. H1000, in big cartridges, seems to end up right around 100% fill, whereas 26 ends up around 90%, sometimes below. Not really sure why this is, but for those of us who live in frigid winters, you don't want to go too low on fill ratio and run into ignition problems.
TBH, doesn't seem like an issue with win mag, so disregard.

I ran some 8133 in my 6.5 PRC, it did really well, right there with H1k and N565.
I’ve been using H100V in my win-mag with excellent results. 200gn bergers averaging .3-.4 inch groups.
H1000 is a great powder for the 300WM. I am down to my last lb of it so I picked up 2lb of N560 and have some N170 left from before.
VV is the only thing available around here now days.
