I do not know which comparable powders would be available in your location. The load mentioned above operated the rifle well, and was very pleasant to shoot in extended practice sessions. For hunting, a charge of IMR or H 4895 (or similar powder) sufficient to push a 150 gr Barnes to 2800 fps would be hard to beat. People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
