Once you figure out what bullets you want to use, get the reloading manual for that particular brand. I have Sierra, Hornady, and Nosler.

A burn rate table (a quick search will yield like 10 different ones) can help a great deal. let's say you have a manual that for a given caliber lists 50gr of 4895 and 60gr of4350. Now,..if your burn chart shows N140 as a burn rate between those 2 powders listed,..you know you can use that powder even though it is not listed in the manual. You simply have to take a look at the starting charges for each of the listed powders,..then take a mid-point starting range for the N140 and you can start from there. Not all manuals test all compatible powders,..so some extra data at hand can be a great thing to have.
why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?....
