I think you could load 98% of the cartridges out there with just two powders: IMR 4895 and IMR 4350.
For the 270 I am using IMR 4350/H4350/AA4350. Not a nickel’s worth of difference between the three, buy by price. IMR 4064 shot very well in the 270, have not tried IMR 4895, it will probably work fine. I will have to try more loads with Varget, it holds great promise as a IMR 4895/IMR 4064 substitute.
