Powder for 30-06; Bolt Action

RE: 165 GR SP Interlock/168 Gr HP BT
Had wanted to buy IMR 4350, but due to my not being able to find it in Tyler, needing an alternative.
Gander Mt. has H380 & H414 in stock and wondering, if I should consider these powders.

H4350, BLC-2, RL19 in that order.

Either would work. H414 is an old time favorite and the '06 is not fussy. Hodgdon Extreme powders like Varget, H4350 would be better if available because they aren't temp sensitive, but that is a nit picky thing.

IMR-4064. My Garand load is 150gr bullet and 50gr of 4064. I'm thinking start at 47gr for the 165/168's. It's a very versatile powder for 150-180gr bullets in .30-'06 and .308. For the the .308 and 175's start paying attention to pressures above 42.0gr.

IMR-4064,IMR/H-4895,IMR/H-4350,H335,Varget. These are all good powders for this round. My favorite hunting load is 165 Nosler Balistic tip, with 47.5 IMR-4064. Been using this load over 20 years now.
