I usually start with something a bit on the slow burning side, and work toward faster burning as needed. Plus I start with a temperature compensated powder whenever possible.

I'm one of those contrarians MD mentioned. Once I decided that 200 yards was the farthest I would walk to pick up an animal, my life got a lot simpler. It does not take a super zippy load to reliably work at that range.

Be not weary in well doing.
