I have been reading alot lately and have seen loads using powders not listed in any of my manuals for various bullets. For instance say RL-17 for 200 gr SGK. I was wondering how you guys determine what powders to use? Do you look at burn rate charts when looking to get a little more velocity out of a round and work up a load or is ther eanother way?
 
Personally I have found after having a library of manuals they don't all agree and only show a few pet loads acknowledged by the writer. The results from book to book vary greatly. Searching the forum has always helped me see what other guys are doing. I work up to their levels and in some cases great results occurred.
