Fallow BuckWhich Powders?
Hi guys,
As a newbie to the reloading thing, I need to order some powders to get me started. I'm loading for a 260Rem primarily while also having a 308Win and a 243Win.
I've ordered some H4350 but thought it may be an idea to have a couple of them available.
Any thoughts?

30378The H4350 will work fin in the 243 and 260 but is not an optimum performer in 308. Varget, RE-15 and IMR-4064 would get my vote for the 308 and will work well in the other 2 using lighter projectiles.

Dr.KDitto on Reloaders post .Along with IMR 4064 which works very well indeed . Haven't got around to Varget in those calibers as yet .

LE270IMR 4064 is a superb powder for many applications, including the ones you mention. It is especially good with lighter bullets.
If I had to make do with only two powders, I'd probably choose IMR 4064 and a slower-burning one.
Although many people like it, I've never found an application for Varget in which something else wasn't better.
