Thread: General approach to powder selection for a new load

Hi All,
I've been dabbling with reloading for about 9 months and have a general question as to how people choose what powder to use or when/why to change if the results aren't what they are after.

My example is I reloaded for my Tikka 270 and started with AR2213SC... I had issues getting groups I liked so I changed to a faster powder, AR2209 and ended up with something pretty accurate although a little slower then I'd like.

What's everyone's general approach? start with slower or faster powders? at what point would you decide it's not good and try a different powder?

Too many bloody variables with this reloading game .
