Several IMR powders in my local hardware store. What's a good one?

Most IMR powders are designed for use in rifle rounds as opposed to pistol cartridges.
The abbreviation IMR stands for 'Improved Military Rifle'
Most IMR powders are extruded and not flake or ball and are typically too 'slow' for MOST pistol applications.

Dumb question time.

I'm guessing it's a USA/Canada labeling thing. Are the labels and load data and all the "technical info" the same?
