I've been reloading for pistols for years. I've acquired some military surplus rifles and would like to begin reloading for them. The calibers are as follows:
30.06
8x57mm Mauser
7.5x55mm Swiss
7.62x54R
I believe I have all the components except for suitable powder(s). I'm not looking for tack driving accuracy at this point, nor am I looking for heavy loads; light plinking is all I'm interested in. The bullets I'll be using are all in the 150gr range. Ideally, I'd like to find one or two powders that would be suitable for all 4 calibers. After several days of checking reloading manuals, web sites, etc. I've come up with the following:
BL-C(2)
H335
H4895
Varget
I'm open to any feedback or recommendations on these (or any other) powders that might be suitable.
As I said, I'm new to reloading for rifles, so if my plan has any flaws I'm willing to learn. Thanks!
