At least for now, I've left the 7mm's behind and returned to 30-caliber guns. I've have easy luck with the .308 Savage model 11's as they seem to eat just about every bullet and powder combination reasonably well and many very well. But I added a Tikka T3x in '06 this year, and was wondering if anyone has found one powder that works well for both. I prefer to consolidate as much as possible so long as I can get reasonably good results.
I currently have Varget and H4895 (mainly for reduced recoil loads) and plan to shoot 150-180 grain bullets - lighter for deer and range work, and 180's for elk loads.
So far, I've found a good load of Varget under the 180's and 165's from the .308. I used up the last of my IMR 4350 in the '06 and found a good load with that powder for my 180 grain Accubonds.
Rather than stock three powders (Varget/H4895/IMR4350) I was curious if there was a way I could get down to 2 powders or even just one.
Thanks for any ideas you have to offer.
