IMR-4831 works best for me.  Each gun is different though, or each load shall I say.  Suppose you buy x amount of powder without knowing though and it doesnt group well for you.  Id recommend trying out a 1 lb before commiting to powder that might not be best for you.  Most likely you will be able to work something out, but I think the contention is to find what groups best and then go from there.

I have used IMR-4831 and have had good success with both Hornandy 140gr BTSP (52 gr) and Nosler 130 gr Partitions (54 gr).  You can also use RL-19.  However, a majority of the manufacturer's reccommend IMR-4831 with it's great accuracy.  I'm not saying it's the best, but probably the best place to start.  RL-19 is the choice for 30-06 & .338 and RL-22 is the choice for 7mm and 300 Win Mag according to their label.
