A few years back powder choices were limited. Of recent the available selection has greatly improved. I use to make my choice based on what was available more so than what would be best for the give application. Now that I have more choices I'm looking to improve my selection based on the gun, the bullet, and efficiency.
So, when you want the best choice for the given gun and bullet, what are you looking at as far as the specs?
I am looking for my 44 Rem Mag with 240gr metal jacketed soft point, shot from a 7.5 inch barrel, Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter. This list shows my considerations to choose from. Am I missing any that I should add?
Alliant 300-MP 1,575 @25gr 240gr bullet
Alliant 2400 1,434 @21gr 240gr bullet
RAMSHOT ENFORCER 1,520 @22gr 240gr bullet
Winchester 296 1,522 @24gr 240gr bullet
Hodgdon H110 1,522 @24gr 240gr bullet
Hodgdon Lil'Gun 1,582 @24.5gr 240gr bullet
Vihtavuori N110 1,541 @22.1gr 240gr bullet
