Thread: General approach to powder selection for a new load

As you have rightly noted there is a great deal of variety in reloading ....even in one caliber you have the wide choice projectile weight / style. It can be annoying when starting out or changing to a new caliber to try and find the best powder / projo combination.
To save a bit on powder do a fair bit of online research first to narrow down the powders you want. Ask on here as you have done, my best bit of advice would be to try and stay with the more common powder styles such as ADI, get a book or two for refference. The ADI powder book is good for a start, and pretty cheap, and is also online.
If its any help i found 2209 better in 270 than 2213 as well. If your funds are limited try the Buy / sell section for part tins. Just remember though that each "bach" will be slightly different and you need to work up a load again just to be sure ..... anytime you change ANY component
