This where I would start, then buy several loading books, experiment with loads, record results in a log book along with your load specs. and fire from the most stable rest you can rig......r in s.

H 380 is real popular for the 22-250 and H4350 should do well in the others.

IMR 4064 is another good powder for the 22-250

i've used IMR4851 for the 30-06 and 3031 for the30-30,and4198 for the405 with good results so far

RL19 for the 338 win mag and 30-06

If I had to reduce my powder stock for rifle loads to just three, I think I'd choose IMR 4064, Hodgdon 4350, and Reloader 22 (Alliant).

Right now I load for:
22-250
6mm Rem
257 Roberts
270 Winchester
7x57
30-06
300 Weatherby
375 H&H

In the past I've loaded for:
223
243
25-06
260 Rem
308
338 Win Mag

And possibly some others I've forgotten.

If I were loading for .223, I'd have to add a fourth powder, probably Winchester 748 or maybe Hodgdon Benchmark.

Except for 748 or Benchmark, none of those powders works in a powder measure very well -- the best powders for that are the ball types. But I usually weigh each charge individually, so the stick-type powders work well for me.

Using one of the three powders I mentioned may not give an optimum load in every rifle caliber, but using one of those three will give a very good one for nearly any caliber and bullet combination that achieves over 2400 f.p.s. velocity, and will give optimum performance for some.

IMR4895, H414 and H4350 or IMR4350.

I usually start with the recommended powder in one of the reloading manuals and work from there.
For the .338 Mag. - it's Rldr-22 and a 225 gr. Northfork. I use the same powder in my .270 Win. too. Some guys complain about inconsistancy with Rldr-22 from 1 lot to the next. I can't say one way or the other but I do know it works in my 2 rifles.

thanks for the input think ill have fun tring t out abunch

I second the statement about H-380 for 22.-25 38gr with 50gr. bullet. Also H4831 is good for the 30-06, not sure what charge sonewhere in the neighborhood of 57-59gr. Waiting to get my scope back to try them out.
