[QUOTE="g0rd0, post: 965908, member: 44168"] every time you ask that you will get a hole lot of different opinions. The best thing that you can do as a reloader is to try different powders with different burn rates then keeping records try them out and go with what works best for you and your rifle. Try imr 4064, imr 4831 h 1000, Supreme 780 and Varget these are a good start In my record books (1 for each rifle) I record date, bullet (brand type and weight), primer (brand and number with the lot number) powder (weight,brand number, and lot number) and I also record set depth, OAL and full or neck sized. Also, when I shoot them I add a note to how they performed. I say the load not me (I always perform perfectly):rolleyes: If you do not have a trimmer yet get 1. You will need it. Start low work up and forget about trying to duplicate factory speeds, you don't have the lab or resources for that [/QUOTE]
