Hey guys, thought I'd rack the great minds of /reloading and see what the consensus is. I'm starting to reload (with my own setup, have reloaded before with my father's) and I'm wondering what powder gives the best velocities for .308 and 7.62x39. I ask because I like to keep things as consolidated as possible, I'd rather have 1 rifle powder and 1 pistol powder that I go to primarily (I have a .308, an sks, mosin and a sub2000 that I will be reloading for). My father always swore by 4895, but I've seen alot of good stuff about H335. What's the consensus?
