I use 231 for my handguns and IMR 4895 in my long guns from223 to my 03A3.

My rifle powders are a little more complicated but I only use 2 powders in "conventional" handguns-Unique for .45acp & .45 colt light loads, and H110 for all my magnum revolver loads.

Not me. I do not care how many different powders are on my reloading bench.

I mainly reload for fun, and to try and get the most accurate load I can.

I am by nature a cheap person, and like to save money like the next guy. However I do not scrimp on powder. After all I will eventually burn it all up. So why try to force yourself into one or two when there are so many available. However I will admit that there are probably more available than needed.

IMO there is more money wasted on different bullets, and expensive bullets, than powder. Tom.

If I had to pick just one, it would be H-4350... I wouldn't even consider anything else.....
