[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1462426, member: 97196"] Honestly I only use 4 powders to cover most of what I load. I have way too many powders on my shelves and can experiment when I need to but if I can’t get it to shoot with Hodgdon 4350, 4831, 1000 or Retumbo there is something wrong with my rifle setup. I do keep some 335 in supply for 223 and use Varget for a couple of 243 loads. I admit I mainly focus is on heavies and thus the slower burning powders. Experience has taught me what to expect from these powders and I save a lot of time wondering what might be most effective. Keeping the case near 100% capacity seems to help with consistency but just run a ladder test to find the node with and dial it in from there. [/QUOTE]
