Reloading powder hypothetical questions

[jrebel]

Pistol specific.....9mm to 454 casull.  If you can only have 3 or 4 powders on the shelf to accomidate most or all pistol rounds....which would they be?  I have a buddy that literally has a different powder for every caliber which I totally understand for rifle....but pistol, not so much.  What is everyone's opinion on this matter.

Bullseye, it's what I use for all pistol rounds I load.  I don't have any hand cannons, so it may or may not be a solution for the biggest cartridges.

Unique is about as close to a universal powder as you can get. I think accurate #5 is up there as well.

If i was going to have 4 powders for pistols it would he trailboss for cowboy loads and bullseye for the rest.

I get along fine with Unique.

I use unique for all my pistols.

I use titegroup for 9, 40, 45.  It's usually about $20/pound. I haven't used bullseye but I think it is similar to titegroup.

Ramshot Comptetition would be one of the first powders that I would stock up on.  It is very clean, as clean as N320, temp stable, meters excelent, and very soft shooting.  Other than that, it would be N320.

I use 700X for all my handguns. Then rifle it's N133, H380, and RL 22. Shogun, Clays, International, Little gun and AL-8.

Titegroup and either Ramshot Enforcer or H110 would cover just about everything. You could throw in a little Trailboss too just for fun.

Bullseye for plinking, Unique for mid-range, H-110 or 2400 for max loads.
