What was the first powder you reloaded with?

[deadeye]

Blue dot or unique for 45lc been 20 yrs or so but still use both for pistol.

 

[WillametteWill]

700x for shotgun, still using it.

 

[Benchrest]

XBR 8208 for .308

I remember it quite well, it 2 1/2 years ago

It that time I've acquired 15 other ".308" powders.

I sure am enjoying all this "hand loading" savings

 

[v0lcom13sn0w]

bullseye for 38 9mm and 40 and blc2 for 308 when i first started reloading. still use it for these calibers. i load a bunch of different calibers now using various powders.

 

[blackadder]

Titegroup for the pistols, H4895 for 223, and IMR 4350 for my 7mm.

I haven't started reloading just yet, but I'm just about set to start on 9mm and .45acp. The only powder I currently have on hand is Titegroup, so that's where I'll be starting. All I need now are some bullets and small pistol primers for the 9mm and I'll be ready to go.

70oX in my .41 mag., probably in the mid '70's.
The store had a special on a reloading set up, and threw in a set of dies when I bought my Blackhawk.

Damned if I know what I used for my 270 back in '85, it was spherical. Next purchases were AA#2 and Bullseye for 9mm/40S&W and 45ACP. Those I remember because I still buy both, along with Power Pistol.
Last I checked, I have 11 different rifle powders....

That's a very kind offer. You sure?

Talcum.... Mom said I reloaded my diaper every time she used it

 

[Stomper]

I'm SHOCKED someone hasn't said "Columbian Snow" was the first powder they "reloaded" with. I'm so sure!!
