You will be much better off with a loading press of some kind.
Check the pawn shops, the "moneysaver" papers, the net and buy a used quality press and you will never be sorry.
AS per powder, Get a number of loading manuels in front of you, look to see which powders are giving the highest velocity and if listed the best groups and that is a good place to start for powder selection.
There are many good older powders, BUT also a bunch of new and possibly better powders that are very good.
Will a critter know the difference between loads of 2 - 300fps difference? Nope, not with a properly placed shot!
But your shooting a 30/06, why shoot it at .308 velocities? If that is what you want, go buy a .308 and same some money on powder and brass.
H & IMR have good powders!!!!!!, but check out the Reloader powders such as RL 19 & 22.
AS said on many posts, let your rifle talk to you. With proper testing proceedures, if you liston, it will tell you what powder it likes.
Just a tip, don't mix brands of brass and better yet, use brass of all one brand & lot number.
BE SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!! and enjoy.
Keep em coming!
