excellent, that is exactly what i was looking for
now, provided they fired as well, (sure they won't) is there any benefit of using a faster powder over a slower powder or vice versa, provided they are both listed to work with a certain bullet?

That ain't that simple either!
Different cartridges in different rifles with different components under different conditions do well with different powders! There is no shortcut, or "best" powder for any given rifle with any given components.
All the powders listed for a particular cartridge will go bang and give the approximate velocity listed if you use the exact components and firearm used for the listed data. You change anything and the results will start to change also, to varying degrees.
Start with the bullet you want to use. Find data that approximates all the components and rifle you will use and start low and work up incrementally.
Like I said, there are no shortcuts and if there were they would be for experienced reloaders.
So what you need is some experience!
Remember: velocity is one thing, accuracy is another. High velocity means squat if you can hit what yoiu are aiming at!
