I've loaded my own ammo for more than 45 years, I do not have a single load with ball powder, I've tried it a number of times over the years and just flat don't like it (dirty burning and extended cleaning if I use it). I do have 748 and (RL 15, thought it was a single base powder but isn't). I've had outstanding sucess with H4831 for 243, 25/06, 270, 280, either IMR 4895 or 4064 for the 30/30, 307, 308, 30/06, IMR 7828 with the 7MM Rem Mag. I should add I use W231 for my 45ACP (burns clean) which is the only pistol round I load for! The only advantage I see for ball powder it meters well, for what it's worth I do not like to run my loads at or near max to enhance buring qualities. My .02 William
