I know you have the W296, but if you *might* be interested, take a hard look at H4227.

I use it in 50AE and 500SW and have to say it is proving to be a real favorite.

It doesn't have the muzzle flash of H110, meters like a dream and is a bit more economical than H110 (but not by much).

It is part of the Hodgdon 'Extreme' powders, which claim great stability and consistency under adverse conditions. It is VERY accurate, burns clean and the recoil seems a bit milder than other powders I've tried (2400, W296, H110 and AA#9)
