Title: Reloading powder hypothetical questions
Post by: jrebel on March 07, 2020, 12:29:28 PM
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 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.

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.
