First off I'm not looking to copy loads of the internet. Even though I just KNOW all you guys are master loaders! No, whatever info I glean will be backed up by at least two books or appropriate website recipes. I just want to get at least a couple/three powders on hand for when I do load for this rifle. If you could tell me what you like or don't like about powders you've used, still use or tried. I'm shooting PPU factory 139gr ammo and that will be my brass to load.
I've already picked up some Federal large 210 rifle primers and a # of H4895. I have a box of Hornady Interlock 129gr bullets. And a couple boxes of older Speer 1441 Spitzer SPs, 140gr. Something I noticed after looking close at the Speer soft points is that one box says .264" and the other one says .263". I thought that was kind of weird? I measured them. They are indeed .263 and .264.
