I'm having a hard time sourcing H4350, so looking for alternatives. I'm Shooting a 26" 260 Rem and 140-143 gr projectiles. I see load data for H4831, but I don't have any experience with this powder. Can anyone give any insight as to how this powder performs with 260 Rem and also it's temp stability?

I use H4831SC in my .260 Rem. with 140 grain SST bullets.  I'm very satisfied with the combo.  It gives me about 2650fps our of a 22" barrel.  "Unfortunately", my .260 is a lightweight hunting rifle so I can't give you the detailed answer you probably want as I don't track the performance data closely on my hunting rifles.  I can tell you loads I develop in the summer take deer just fine in the fall.

I don't load for the 260 but can tell you that H4831 is one of the most temperature stable powders available.  I've used it in 270 and 300WM.  You may actually like the "short cut" better.
