    hughes1,

    Each powder manufacturer has their own powder or powders listed for the large capacity cases. Don't forget about the surplus powders:

    From VithaVuori:

    POWDERS FOR .50 BMG

    For .50 BMG there are two special Vihtavuori powders available, 24N41 and 20N29. They are, like N100 series, single base surface treated powders. The burning rate of them is slower and their grain size is larger than that of the N100 series rifle powders. 24N41 is slightly faster burning than 20N29.
