[QUOTE="PatriotHenry, post: 2440961, member: 114356"] 1980, Due you have those 2 powders on hand? Of those 2 I know guys have had really good luck with RL26. N570 may be better suited to bigger cartridges. If you have them you can try them for sure. However in these times of very scarce/expensive components, I would caution you on how many combinations you try. Your twist rate is adequate for both projos. With what you have listed that you have on hand I would start with H1000 personally. Keep in mind that 1lb of powder is approx 7000gr / 64ish charge =109 rds loaded. Hopefully you have more than 1lb of each of the powders you listed. If you do not have 2lbs or more of each, you will have a hard time getting a load developed and have enough left to load more. Then we get into the dangers of different lot #'s ect., ect. Where you are just getting started, there is a ton of little things you need to learn to save time, frustration and components. There is a ton of very sharp guys on here to help you. Do you know how to set your headspace-shoulder bump on your brass? Is this rifle primarily a hunting rig or a combo? Do you know how to do a ladder-load/OCW test? This saves a ton of time and $ on components-barrel life. Do you have a good reloading manual? Do you have a mentor close by that can physically help you? Sorry for so many questions. Just trying to save you time and frustration. There is a lot to learn, and I have been reloading for over 30 years and I am still learning. [/QUOTE]
