I'll second H4895.

Hodgdon has loads listed in all the calibers that you list.

It will go from the 17-222 thru the 460 Wby.

I probably use it more than any other powder for rifle loads.

I use a load of 105 gr. in my 460 with a 500 gr bullet when I want it to be serious. But, since those bullets ain't cheap, I use cast bullets.
