Just wondering what your favorite Reloading powders are.
1) VihtaVuori Oy N110 (44 Magnum)
2) VihtaVuori Oy N120 (7.62x39)(Best)
3) Accurate 1680 (7.62x39)(Better)
4) Accurate 2230 (7.62x39)(Good)
5) Winchester 296 (357 Magnum)
6) Winchester 231 (38 special)
7) IMR 4350 (30.06 & 300 Win. Mag.) (Rock Crusher loads with 150gr. BTHP(only for bolt action))

I have others but to Many to list.



Nowhere in the U.S. Constitution does it state: "Seperation of Church and State".

    Winchester 231 in pistol, works best in progressive press that I have found, also accurate. Rifle is H4895, accuracy, ability to load light loads if needed(60% of max is allowable),

    IMR 4320 (7x57)

    Bullseye (.45acp,.38spcl,.44spcl)

    Will270win: I am thinking about building a 6x47. I am looking for more info on this round. All I can find in my small library is a (very) few loads listed in the Lee loading manual. Can you tell me some more places to find some info. It's not in my Cartridges of the World. I am looking for more than just load data,I would like to find some more detailed data.Thanks.

    rimfire72; I have load data in my Hornady book.
    I look through the others I have and can not find any.
    But I will look for more and see what I can find.

    When I was in college I reloaded with hand tools in my apartment and I wanted to keep the operation steamlined. One powder served all my needs I used Herc. Red Dot for both 12 gauge trap and .38 Special wadcutters.

    You'all ought to try "Varget".
    Have been using it with great success in the .308....Doesn't give the pressure spikes from working up a load in the winter..then shooting in the summer...or decrease velocity the other direction.

    Has given best accuracy in 3 .308's,so far...
