These are the guns I have: 1- 308 2- 300 SAUM 3- 243 4- 25-06 5- 7mmRM 6- 223 7- 30-30 With the above calibers in mind, what 3 powders would be a must have. I have IMR 4895 as a must have for the 308. I am noticing that a lot of people use VARGET. It seems like that should be on the list. What do you guys say? These are the other powders that I have, but haven't really used much of. AANo.2- used to load some 44mag with it. AA1680 AA2230 AA2700 ./l ,[___], l--L=OlllllO= O_) O_)~-)_) If at first you don't succeed,,,failure may be your thing!!! | ||

Jason, The question you put forth is somewhat baited. The choice to make would depend on bullet weight. IMO: H4831 would be an excellent one to have on the shelf. And I am thinking IMR3031 and IMR4350 would be a couple others to give a try. The powders that others have posted are good calls also.

Drop the 4895 & go a bit slower: IMR4064 or RL15 or W748 H4350 or RL19 or IMR4831 IMR7828 or RL22 This would cover everything you are loading for, provided you are willing to compromise a bit on accuracy vs vel. LIFE IS NOT A SPECTATOR'S SPORT! | |||
