What powders should i buy to get started with? Just getting into reloading, looking to reload 22-250 Rem., 308 Win., 270 Win., 300 WSM, 270 WSM, 6mm Rem., 7mm Rem. Mag.,. Thanks

if you had a pound each of H-414, H-380 and H-4831-SC you'd find they fit most of your needs quite well.

You're smart to look ahead because you'll avoid having thirty half empty cans of powder sitting on the shelf

It's not easy to find one or two powder that will work good in all this calibers.
I would start with Vihta N560 for 6mm Rem, 270 Win and Magnums (great powder!!!) and IMR 4064 for 308 Win.
I never reload 22-250, so I can't give you infos.

A versatile powder for the .22-250 and the .308 would be either the IMR or H- version of 4895. It is short grained, meters smoothly, and is fairly linear in its performace as you work up your loads.

For all of the others, H-4831 SC would be an excellent choice.

These are certainly not the only powders that potentially will do well, but they are good bets to give satisfactory performance in all the cartridges you mention.

Model7LSS---When I started reloading and had the same questions you have, I went to my Lyman manual (about the only one I had then)and picked out a powder that seemed to get good velocity in all the various bullet weights. Don't ask me why I did that, I pick the bullet weight I want and don't usually go trying the other weights. For 30-06, I picked 4064. I used it for years and kept hearing that 4350 was THE POWDER. I got some 4350 and tried it,for my rifle the 4064 was much better,maybe my method works????

For the magnums, I agree with the H4831SC

For the non-magnums I would have said IMR4064 but it sucks through a powder measure. IMR4895 or Varget would be my next choices for all three but not my first choice for any individually.

fjold--I have been using 4064 for over 40 years--nary a problem in my Belding&Mull powder measure. For that matter,I have found no powder it doesnt meter,but I do read about lots of powders being a problem metering. Not a question,but a statement--your measure is not a Belding & Mull.

I'd buy Varget and use it in the 22-250, 6mm, and 308. I'd buy R22 and use it in all of the others. H4831 would work great in the others as well.

Good Luck

Reloader

Jack O'Connor would spin in his grave to hear that anything other than IMR-4350 was being sugested for the 270Win, but frankly I had much better luck with Reloader19.

However with my last two 338Mags if IMR4350 wasn't available I'd have gone back to factory ammo.
because neither did as well with RL19
My brother's Winchester? the opposite.
Same bullets same brass same dies, just his rifle like loads that mine didn't and Vice Versa.

My brother's 358Norma didn't seem to care what propellant you fed it provided you fed it enough of it. (a tendency to smoky necks with less than max loads)

6mm again, IMR-4350 or RL19 depending on the rifle.

The thing is you never know what any given rifle will like.
