Default RE: Powder for 308, 30-06 and 300 WM

Well, here's the deal as I see it.....The man asked for one powder to do the job for several different cartridges. He was explained to that one powder may perform to a certain degree of acceptability for all three, but probably would not perform to the max for all three. Whjy would you want mediocre performance from your guns just for the sake of being able to use one single powder? Accuracy is what we (most all of us) strive for. Velocity and accuracy is the best. I, for one, am willing to shave just a tad off accuracy for a substantial increase in velocity for a deer load. Not a lot, just a tad. This is working with just one gun. To find a powder that you can fine tune this well with three guns is asking a whole hell of a lot. If you want mediocrity, you may find it. If you want max performance with acceptable (for you) accuracy and velocity I doubt that one single powder is going to do it. Just kind of asking for one bullet to give you all you want for accuracy in all three guns. Probably just isn't going to happen............
