Are you looking to buy those powders to use them in those guns or do you have those powder and are trying to figure out what to use them in?
 
Imr 4064

IMR 4064 is my go to rifle powder. I've used it for: .223,.22-250,.243,.270,
7mm08,7mm Mag.,.30-30,.30-06,.308,.300 Mag. and it has worked well for them all.
 
In the order you posted:

Magnum pistol rounds
Standard rifle calibers(243, 308, 30-06, etc.)
30-30
magnum pistol rounds
heavy slug for caliber rifle rounds(i.e. 30-06 @ 165 or heavier)
Just about any non-magnum centerfire rifle caliber
 
IMR4227; 45LC and 44 mag

4064; 308, 708, 30-06,6.5x55

3031; 32 Win spcl

W296; 44 mag, 357 mag

IMR4350; 7-08, 30-06, 270 Win, 260 Rem, 6.5x55, 308

Varget; same as 4064 plus the 223 Rem.
 
* imr4227 - .375 mag. .41 mag
* imr4064 - .223, 30-30, .308, .303 Brit, 8mm Mauser
* imr3031 - haven't used this one
* w296 - .357 mag, .41 mag
* imr 4350 - haven't used this one
* varget - haven't used this one but should be good for .308
 
I use Varget for my 22-250 with great results. Beware though, it meter's horribly and each round should be individually weighed. IMO...
