Default Go to powder

I finished some 25-06 loads for the upcoming rifle season and it just hit me that I had loded 6 different calibers since March, some for friends, all with Varget. Not all of them are shot with Varget now but from looking at some noted all of them were pretty good. Anybody else got a starter powder or favorite? Thanks Heath

REally think IMR 4350 and 4198 are the two best go-to's around based on what you are loading.

I have over forty different powders on the shelf....of which I actually use only a few most of the time...

H-4831
H-4350
H-414
Bl-C(2)
IMR-4064
RL-15
Rl-22


The first four handles 90% of my needs!

IMR4895 is most likely my "most used" powder.

Next in line: IMR4350.

If you added 4064 to that list, one could probably get by.
