300 Savage using 150gr bullets
308 Winchester using 150gr bullets

Pistol
9mm with 120gr and 40S&W with 180 gr

My question is what powders would you suggest I tell him look for that will cover these. I know there will be a divide between the pistol and rifle but trying to help him buy as few different powders as possible to cover his needs. He is a deer hunter and not a target shoot.
Thanks in advance


He needs two rifle powders. One for the .243 and .300WM and one for the .300 Savage and .308. For the .243 and .300WM, I’d be looking at a temp stable powder in the R23 burn rate and for the .300 Savage and .308 I’d be looking at the R15 and Varget burn rates.
