First thing is go get 2-3 reloading manuals. Get one of the powders near the top of all of the lists.

Imr 4350

I have used it quite a bit in the Mags. Been around a long time and pretty much avaliable all over. 56 grains would be a good start with either bullet,
150 or 175.

But as the poster prior to me prints, get a loading manual or two and read.

I like lyman and speer but any are good. If you realize you should load up 5 of them and go shoot them, check for signs of high pressure and see what kind of groups you are getting. Never load less than 10% of max and never load max at first. Keep a good record and you should be ok.
