My prefered powders -
Winchester 780 Supreme
Reloader 19

Ramshot Hunter and all of the classic powders have worked well for me (4895, 4831, H380, etc), but W780 and RL19 have been more consistent and less temperature sensitive. I know temperature sensitivity isn't something most people worry about, but my .270 goes on Elk and Antelope hunts, with the same handloads. So, they need to be just as good at 90 degrees, as they are at -4 degrees.

Ramshot Hunter was fantastic at cooler temperatures (below ~60 F), but wasn't as consistent when it warmed up.
