I’d certainly move up to a 180 grain bullet. What powders do you have to work with?
H4831sc I just got back from a few places that didn’t have anything I needed
Gotcha. I misunderstood and thought that was what you were using but assumed like most of us reloaders you had a few more choices. I’d personally not change to much at once and try that powder with the 180 grain bullets. My Hornady manual shows H4831 with loads from 68.2g-74.8 g with that weight bullet. Just start low and work your way up.
I have an unopened pound. If you want to try it pm me and we can try to work something out
79 grains Reloader 22, Federal 215 M primer, 165 grain projectile. Hopefully you can find some. It's my go to recipe for my 300 WM. If not your H4831 sc has a similar burn rate so try the same load with it.
Academy Norman had a couple 1# 4350 last week. Under $40 but not by much.
Aw shoot, Pawhuska...sorry bout location thing.

I personally never shoot anything lighter than 165gr. in mine. I tried some lighter early on, but never had any luck.
I've shot everything from 125gr to 200gr with RL19, IMR4895, IMR4350, and a few with RL25. I've never tried to really push any of them and didn't have any accuracy issues with just middle of the road velocities out of a TC Encore, Rem 700 and a Ruger M77. The 125gr out of the Encore was the most accurate 300 win mag load ever for me, of all things lol.
Ok, his problem may not be the load, because he shoot wrong handed. I’ve been telling him if he put the rifle on his right shoulder his accuracy would improve.
Funny you should say 79 grain I just loaded 3 with that had 2 almost touching and the other an inch off which I think was me I’m going to load 5 more at 79.0 and try them this weekend
