You can even throw your powder measure away. Just stuff the case full, knock out enough to cram a bullet in and let 'er rip!Trail Boss.

Nice, thank youMy own favorites for handguns is Tite Group or Unique. I can make a god shooting load for any handgun from them. I get more specialized for rifle ammo. [ they operate at very different speeds]. DR
Exactly, I've got a good friend that's been reloading for 50 yrs I'm getting everything I need put together but I won't pull a handle done unless he's here to first to tell me everything I did wrong then to coach me the first several sessionsYou need to find someone close to you that reloads to take you under their wing.
We don't need any more head lines.
It almost sounds like you don't have a reloading manual.Exactly, I've got a good friend that's been reloading for 50 yrs I'm getting everything I need put together but I won't pull a handle done unless he's here to first to tell me everything I did wrong then to coach me the first several sessions
Thanks Jerry
If I told you I only have 3 or 4 I would not be telling the truth, in my opinion the manuals are the most important components and I have read them all front to back. I am getting really close to starting this endeavorIt almost sounds like you don't have a reloading manual.
^^^THIS HERE^^^titegroup will cover a lot of pistol loads
And still does...It works good in old "hyphenated" rifle cartridges of the 1800's and early 1900's,
Any chance some of those loads are with the 120gr Shock Hammer? I've been wanting to mess around with that bullet, but haven't quite known where to start.And still does...
I load .30-30 with Unique for toned down, but incredibly accurate loads using 100 - 135 grain bullets.
Not familiar with that bullet but I looked it up. I have no need for anything like this - AND especially at over a buck per bullet.Any chance some of those loads are with the 120gr Shock Hammer?
I hear you. I have way too many 1 lb containers, all of which work fine in something, but not necessarily in "most" things. I have since acquired an 8 lb keg of Alliant BE-86 for use in 9mm, .38, .357 Mag, .45 ACP and 10mm mid to near max loads. Also have an 8 lb keg of Accurate MagPro scheduled to arrive any day now, can be used primarily in .270WSM, but also may prove useful in .270 Win, and heavy bullet .243 Win. As for .223 Rem, I use Ramshot TAC. II don't have one 8 lb keg, I have two! (Just emptied the 3rd one I had on hand). It is also very useful in .308 Win and .338 Federal.That is a great idea, I just want to stock as few as possible. I'm sure I'll end up with quite a few but just saying I'd rather have a few 8lb jugs than 6 or 7 different powders
So you don't have one.If I told you I only have 3 or 4 I would not be telling the truth, in my opinion the manuals are the most important components and I have read them all front to back. I am getting really close to starting this endeavor
I will post some pictures when I get everything mounted
I also like BE-86 but when I recently ran out of it and I went to restock, it seemed like Alliant powders had increased in price by quite a bit in my area, I bought eight pounds of CFE Pistol instead.I hear you.

So, those are the 8 pounders I have, (also have a 4 pounder of Ramshot Zip which is similar to W-231/HP-38 for milder .38, 9mm and .45 ACP loads.)
I ordered the 8 lb keg after hearing that Alliant was raising their prices 30%, so got it for $231.50 + shipping and hazmat.I also like BE-86 but when I recently ran out of it and I went to restock, it seemed like Alliant powders had increased in price by quite a bit in my area, I bought eight pounds of CFE Pistol instead.
For those pistol calibers, take alook at HS6.Hello folk I'm new to the group & brand new to reloading . 99% of my bullets are shot at steel or paper. I am looking for a versatile powder that I can the most calibers with in pistol I shoot 9mm, 38 special, 357 Mag, 44 special, and 44 Mag
In rifle I shoot 223 cal both at and bolt guns
5.56. 222 rem bolt, 243 , 6mm arc, 270, 270 WSM , 308, 300 Win mag & 300 WSM
I shoot the pistols pretty often , The small caliber rifles warm up pretty good when the coyotes start moving anything above the 6mm only dispatch 5 - 6 rounds a year if that
I've bought and read several manuals I've bough several pounds of Tite group, W231,
H- 110 and a few more
I have pulled a handle on a press yet but I'm dang close
Thanks in advance
Thank you for the replyFor those pistol calibers, take alook at HS6.
Rifle calibers require more of a dedicated powder to stay in the safe parameters.
