    Check this out for some guidelines:
    Rifle - ADI World Class Powders and Ammunition
    Or you can stay within 300 yards and keep life a lot simpler.

    I started with 2208, and changed to 2206h.
    The 2208 was ok with a 21” barrel, but not quite so good when I swopped rifles and went to an 18” barrel.
    Seems to fill the case better, and a bit more velocity.

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !
