BSA,
I know the OP was asking for the top three choices for each cartridge,
I don't load for a 308, but the other cartridges I do load for,
and each of my 4 choices would be the ones I mentioned for any of those cartridges...
however, you won't find me ever limiting myself to just those three or four powders..
I like playing at the reload bench as much or even more as I do shooting...
Heck, the last barrel I put on an action has been the 17 Fireball, it has 350 rounds down the barrel just playing with it, loading in 10 round batches, playing with different loads...and one 5 round test batch... I live 3 miles from our local range...
I picked up some 224 Valkyrie cases off the ground the last time at the range.. after I finish playing with the Fireball, that may be the next barrel I get for the Savage from EABCO....
When getting another barrel for a rifle, I can burn thru 1000 rounds just testing all the "What Ifs" my mind can come up with, getting to know the round...
can't do stuff like that, when you are only using 3 powders....
