[QUOTE="Bevmach, post: 1602222, member: 109655"] Finding the powder/bullet combination that works best for you and your rifle is the FUN part. As was said earlier, pick several of the most common types of powder, go to the gun store, and see what's available in your area. I have a 270 Ruger 77 that will not group 130 grain bullets. I finally found that with Reloader 19 and a Sierra Gameking 140 Grain bullet, it shoots less than 1" at 100. The answer to your question is yes, it's trial and error. You can get a good idea of what others have tried from the reloading manuals and off of Loaddata.com, but you have to find what works best for you. [/QUOTE]
