The best way to pick out powders for new reloaders Is to go to your reloading manual and use the recipe's that the powder manufacturers recommend. They have done tons of testing and know what they are talking about. If in doubt, call their customer service. Now, I won't say that some pistol powders won't work in rifle loads, as there are some rounds like .357, .44 mag used in rifles and others. But, most bottle nose rifle rounds require powder different than what is used in pistol rounds.</blockquote>
