    powder help

    This is what I plan on reloading;
    Barnes tsx 62gr 224
    milspec 69gr 224 http://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.c...ir=278|281|727

    Barnes tipped tsx 168gr .308
    milspec 168gr .308 http://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.c...ir=278|281|727

    the Barnes will be for hunting and the milspect for everything else.
    is there a powder that i can use for all this?
    thank you for any advice.
    i plan on buying locally as not to pay the hazmat shipping fees.

      Frankly, yes. Many.

      If I had to guess, Varget, H4895, TAC, Reloader 15, and maybe BL-C(2)?

      Those are popular for both calibers listed. Barnes probably offers reloading data for their own bullets, so email them.

        I don't have a manual yet. Are these manuals specific to the manufacture of the bullet?

              Suggest that you use three reloading references on-line and/or the old fashion printed manuals. Some bullet manufactures do their own testing and most all powder manufactures do pressure test different bullet weight, type and powder combinations.
