Imr4831 or H4831, because my reloading books give rather different load data and ranges

yes AND no..... depends on loads ,projectile weights and where you getting data from... if you are a couple of grains below maximum for the hogdgon version you be close to max for the IMR version.... so if unsure as to which it is...find load that is safe in either....
well thats what I decided after looking and looking in poohseventy data....for my 140grn loads it looks to be fine either way.
my rifle happily sits 2-3grns ABOVE book max so Ive got wiggle room.

A few mentions of RE22 as a good option here, but I caution against it. I used it in my .25-06 with a variety of pills including: 100 and 115 NBT, 110 Accubond, 115 VLD and 117 SST. It’s a good powder and gives high velocity, but is very temperature sensitive. I can’t remember the numbers, but I did velocity tests at a variety of temps in the US when I bought a chono and the range was huge.
