Which cartridges work best with the below powders

There are some powders that work well across multiple cartridges and bullet weights. Varget w/ a 123gr in a 6.5 CM or a 168 gr .308. 147 gr 6.5 CM w/ H4350 (in most Creedmoor cartridges too) H1000 in 300 WM or 7 RM. RL26 in everything :)
I have the below powders a would like to ask which cartridge and bullet weights work best.

IMT 8208XBR
BENCHMARK
HV100 HYBRID
H322
Accurate 2495
TAC

Thanks
I'm curious....why so many brands and types of powders if you don't know what they are for? Inheritance or hoarder? If you aren't part of the solution...then you are part of the problem!

I use HV100 Hybrid for my .243 with 108 gr ELDMs. It's given me an extra 100 fps from my 29" Krieger barrel which will shoot .03 @ 100 yds. MV is 3220 fps. It's a deadly combo on deer.
 
H322 used to be the go to powder for 22 ppc and 6 mm ppc. I have had really good results with 70 - 75 bullets in 6BR older gun with 10 twist not the newer Norma with 8 twist.

Also used it in .308 hand gun loads and 45-70 cast bullet loads with excellent accuracy.

Used in .223 with up to 55 grain bullets,but approach max VERY carefully. When it peaks it peaks very fast in that small case.
 
H100 V was STaBall of today. It offered extra100 fps. Just wasn't the most consistent of powders. Though it shot really well in 6.6x55 of mine at the time.
What I meant was my Chrono speeds were up to 100fps different per shot. 70fps with ramshot big game too. Horrible for long range shots.
I'm using h4350 now and have a 5 shot spread of 34fps with 140gr sierra match kings.
 
H322 is great with most 6mm loads. Jack Sutton of Hart Barrels uses it with his 6PPC and I use is with my 6BR using a 66gr Cheeks bullet. TAC is a great powder for my 69gr Sierra in my 556's
 
BISONBALLISTICS.COM It requires the bullet, weight, length, twist and speed you want to push it to. I try to stay 1.30 to 1.50 in the stability range. Use the Ballistic drop down menu to Stability Calculator.

8208 is very accurate in the 6.5 Creedmoor.
 
H100V doesn't match with the rest of them. It's slower than H4350.
Yup. Been load developing 243AI and it's really showing me burn rates. RL17 and H100V are within 1/2 grain of each other in that cartridge. My XMR 4350 made in Serbia I think, is the slowest of the 4350s and I'm coming to 1.5 grain under H100V.

Then weirdness starts with 105-115 bullets and some of the slowest powders like N570, Retumbo, etc work better with compression fills…fun challenging hobby! 🤣
