  The problem with using smaller amounts of fast powder is that tiny variables can cause pressure to skyrocket. If it were feasible, every cartridge would be loaded with Bullseye. Clearly, it is not.
  
  Accurate No.9 is a very good powder for top-end loads. It is a bit faster burning than H110/W296, burns clean and produces very little flash (unlike 2400). I've used it in the 22 Hornet and 218 Bee, but it is much better in the 357 Mag.

  A great powder in the big calibers using heavy bullets, about the same burn rate as WW-296 and H-110.. WW-296 usually will give up a little more velocity...
