Need powder recommendations

[Geogre]

I have been reloading my 460 for a little bit maybe done a hundred rounds. Well I have a few rifles and was given dies for a few so looking for powders that would cover most or all of these calibers. I have been looking though the manuals and have ideas but thought maybe someone with expericance could point me to a good group of 3 or 4 powders to work in most of these.

270 win
30-06
45-70
25-06
243
7mm-08
7mm rem mag
getting a 260 rem this summer
223

Thinking of doing a order for some primers and powder since places closest to me don't have much selection. Mostly a new to reloading but don't want to be stuck with powders I don't have much use for . Already have one of those here.

IMR 4895 will cover most of your needs.

One of the 4350's would fit the bill for some of those.

If you're gonna be making an online order you might want to check out Powder Valley. They still have their special going on.....

yeah thats where I was going to order, need to mail them ID first. So was trying to decide what powders to add.

IMR or AA-4064 should take care of most, if not all, of the rounds listed. Also, Varget and Re-15 are very versitile.

As I'm sure you know what works for me in my rifles might not necessarily work for you but I can tell you what powders have worked for me in the past. I haven't loaded for all of the calibers you listed but I will list the ones I have loaded for.

270 Win & 25-06 IMR or H4831

30-06 - So many good powder for the 30-06
165gr bullet and heavier I like IMR or H4350
For lighter bullets I use 4895 or IMR4064, Varget will work well too.

45-70 for Trapdoor type loads I like Trail Boss or H4198. H4198 will also work well for levergun loads.

223 - The .223 isn't as picky as some other calibers. With a 55gr bullet I just love using Varget. Other powders that work well are BL-C(2) and the classic powder for the 223 is H335.

The above powders are just my opinion based on my past. There are other powders that will work well too but I have no experiance with them. I'm sure others will be by soon to add to the list. Unlike the past there are many good powders around today.

W-W 760 or H414 will cover most of them, and being a spherical powder, it flows through a powder measure much more consistantly than extruded powders.

Add H335 and you've got them all covered.

Ramshot XTerminator for .45-70 and .223

Ramshot Hunter for all the others except where you want max velocity in .25-06, .270 and 7mm Rem Mag. then I would go to Ramshot Magnum.

These three powders are dense ball powders that will meter exceptionally.

The 4350's are gonna be the best compromise...4064 will work but in a 7mm mag probably not the best. 223 is the odd man out, get something around H4895 or Varget
