Thread: General approach to powder selection for a new load

+1 for info on this forum - there are some very knowledgeable folks with solid experience who are happy to share their knowledge.
I’ve reloaded for about 5 yrs now and for the 12 or so different rifles and calibers. I am no expert, & U never stop learning !!
As a general observation over quite a few calibers I have found slower powders tend to give better outcomes in both accuracy and speed.
As you approach max case capacity this seems to favour better results & consistency.
There are always exceptions as u mention, I found similar with a 284 bush pig.
2209 was better than 2213, but not too surprising given a short barrel.
