I've not been reloading very long and have been using powder available at Walmart - IMR4064 or 4350. I've never actually shot my reloads to see what types of groups Im getting. Just general plinking.

I reload for .243, .30-30, .308, and .30-06 currently. As well as some pistols but I've got that down good.

I'm going to soon make a large order of powder and primers. I plan to purchase several different types of powder. Probably at least 9 or 10 different. Name any and all powders that work WELL in the calibers I listed. I want to find out what my guns shoot best but I need a place to start.

Thanks in advance!

  What are your favorite powders for rifles? I use IMR 4895 in my .308 and .223 loads and it works okay, but that's an area I haven't experimented with enough to be an expert on.

  With IMR 4895, I will get about 280 of .223 and 167 of .308.

  7000grs/lb, so figure out what your load is, and divide that into 7000.
