I have lots of other powders on hand from working up loads in 17H, 204R, 223, 243, etc. Any advice/tips on best powders for bullets in that weight class?

I haven't worked much with Trailboss, but there's tons of data available. H322 or 4895 aren't bad. You'll get some unburnt kernels of powder in the barrel, but then the same thing happens with the 4198's and lighter loads.
If your going light, I like to use cigarette paper as a filler. It keeps the powder against the primer and won't smoulder in the grass like some other filler material.
