Re: One powder for reloading.
I keep a range of 7 to 8 types of powder, as I shoot for accuracy. Looking at what I reload for, IMR4064 would be a very versatile powder for me in all of my rifles, from 22-250 upto 45-70. Unique is another powder I would not be without. It works for pistol, rifle, cast and jacket alike. If I were ...

Re: 405 grain .458 bullets, who has recipes?
405grn Remington bullet+wlrp+34.5grn of IMR4198. 1886TD 2000 issue winchester/Miroku.
Same loads works equally well for lead bullets of same weight. Although low-moderate velocity, very accurate for me, and comfortable to shoot.
