Agree! lots of other powders will work. including, but not limited to: Unique, Clays, Titegroup, 231, and 700X.
Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook is a good source for a lot of loads, all in one handy reference.
I've observed poor ignition issues in a lot of calibers..., pop-clang, pop-clang, bang-clang, pfft-ding, pft-what?
This is from shooters cutting waay below the listed starting loads and often combines with inconsistent powder metering issues - depending of course on the type of powder. Example, 700X (one of my favs), is big-fluffy-flaky powder & is prone to metering issues. I've installed a powder baffle and extensively tested the lowest charges which can be consistently be dispensed with my setup. I don't charge any cartridge below the limit I've established for myself with this powder.
