[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 151069, member: 7"] I pick the buller I want to shoot first, based on what is going to be on the other end - paper, steel, or critters. Then I pick the powder, based on what I need - usually I will avoid ball powders because they are so dirty, and temperature sensitive. There are exceptions though... Some ball powders classic for the caliber, like 414 for the 6mm, 748 and BlC2 for the 223, etc. Also... if I were loading for a PD shoot, I would consider a ball powder cuz they throw so well. If you don't know what powders, then look in a loading book. For a given weight of bullet, the slower powders will usually give the best velocity, and the faster powders will give the best ES and SD... and tend to group the best. The primers are already a given... I use Rem 7-1/2, CCI BR-2, and BR-4 . [/QUOTE]
