[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1724293, member: 26227"] Anything written here has to be taken as opinion and overall experience. it also depends on your value system when rating projos and powders. I have always relied on Barnes bullets and I have always found Hodgdon's powders to be better in my guns. this will not always be the case. I now also include Berger and certain Hornady projos in my trusted projectile category. I also now have much more powders I trust. I do not like the Vihta Vouri powders at all. the reason is simple they are hyper sensitive to temperature change. Accurate arms was my favorite powder for my 270 winchester until they cut the AA3100 powder that I depended on for my hunting loads. then they dropped another powder that I relied on for my 9MM practice loads. then the other 9MM powder got cut from Hodgdon's line up. I am so disappointed in both powder manufactures. it seems that "Long Shot" shotgun powder will take the place of HS-7 and AA #.. dang I forget that powder's name. I have also been ambivalent to Alliant Reloader series due to lackluster results in my and my friend's rifles. my reloading bench is filled with many brands of projos, many brands of powder, and most all brands of primers. mostly from experimentation. I should sell off the stuff I do not need or want and clean up the stock area. For me, the best projos are Berger and Barnes. the best powders come from Hodgdon's except for a very few special applications. this is me, no one else will have this combination. my favorite primers are Federal and Winchester. my favorite brass is Hornady, Nosler, and Lapua. I will not turn down Norma for a good price. [/QUOTE]
