One can get Vulcan pull down powder much cheaper than canister powder and in my experience with the Nosler, 872 and 869 are just about interchangeable. The bonus, 872 is $55 per 8# jug. Give Jeff Bartlett a call, he knows his stuff. http://www.gibrass.com/gunpowder.html

Another powder with promise is Vv N-570, very coarse stick, double base, high energy. QL gives it high marks on performance in these big cases. It doesn't flow well thru a powder measure, stacks badly. I remove the drop tube in my Uniflow, drop a charge in a scale pan and weigh. Goes pretty fast.

Buy the cheap azz Lee powder measure.. 19 bucks or such.... I doubted the advice... for nasty powder. I"ve been pretty impressed...
