I've got the best tip ever, to help you figure out what powders will be suitable for you needs.I understand you guys don't liking the old men that are just getting into reloading
We are probably who's making you overpay for components
It's that 1% of your bullets NOT fired at steel or paper that I'm wondering about…..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
Yes sir , there are people out there that make you feel like you ask them to change the timeNo problem, if you've got specific or even general questions just ask, there is a lot of knowledge here. Some times you will have to separate wheat from the chafe so to speak but that's kind of anywhere now days.
For my own needs, I can pare it down to Unique for pistol and 4895 for rifle in the military rounds I shoot.. there ARE others but I COULD get by if necessary with those two.
So, is Montana where the Unique Powder went? Because I haven't seen Unique anywhere for several years! Not a Unique guy myself. Tried it at first, didn't care for it in rounds that could utilize W231/HP-38. Kinda dirty and the flakes are crunchy in the powder thrower.If you just want one pistol powder, try Unique. Great recommendations from members above. Different rifles require different powders. Study your manuals. Work loads up from minimums. Shoot more.
It sounds like your a hunter. You could find one powder for all your calibers and if your a fast learner can probably get decent hunting accuracy from it but the trade off would probably be sub par velocity in some or most of the hunting calibers, especially the larger ones Im guess are for big game like deer or elk where terminal velocity is more important. In your rifle caliber selection it would be worth at least considering two poweder choices to stock one more ideal for smaller lighter calibers and one ideal for larger magnum calibers.Hello folk I'm new to the group & brand new to reloading . 99% of my bullets are shot at steel or paper.

I go coyote hunting as Much as I can but hunt with a good sized group so if I shoot 10 or 15 dogs I'm pretty luckyIt's that 1% of your bullets NOT fired at steel or paper that I'm wondering about…..
Yes sir I shoot my 9's the most and try to shoot every day and get the other hand guns out a few weekends a month
Thank you Sir, You make great sense to meIt sounds like your a hunter. You could find one powder for all your calibers and if your a fast learner can probably get decent hunting accuracy from it but the trade off would probably be sub par velocity in some or most of the hunting calibers, especially the larger ones Im guess are for big game like deer or elk where terminal velocity is more important.

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 powdersYou need to buy one pound batches of numerous powders and then figure out what your guns shoot best with. If you're willing to accept the potential for mediocre accuracy from most or all of your firearms then picking one powder for long guns and one for handguns is your path forward.
Hey @Nosferatu !?
Where did you find your 777? Did they have that at Machine Guns?
What's that?Trail Boss.
A powder that can be used in any cartridgeWhat's that?
