And prairie dog guns have in common?
Can I use the same powder in my 458 WinMag as I do in my 223 and 220 Swift?

Wright brothers there are a ton of cartridges that are well suited to the 4831 both I MR and H Some examples, 30 -06 bolt guns. It’s too slow for the gas guns. That’s hard on the actions. 270 Winchester, 280 Remington, 280 Remington, Ackley, 257 Robert Ackley improved 7 mm Remington magnum 8 mm Remington magnum, 300 Winchester 300 Weatherby, 7 mm STW 30Herret 338 WinMag and a slew of other chambering’s that I can’t think of off the top of my head

Would 4831 be good for lever guns in 30-30, .35, .444, etc?

I haven't tried every powder. Haven't tried lever revolution. I do like H335 in 30-30. Good velocity and accuracy both. 4831 is pretty slow. Probably not a good choice.
dont have a 35 or 444

IMR 3031 works well in my .270 win , .222 rem and my .6 mm if I remember correctly all are bolt action rifles .
And yes shooting prairie dogs with a .375 H & H is expensive fun !
