Hey folks,
I know these questions have been beat to death, but mine is a little different.
I primarily shoot 158g LSWC in .357 mag cases and 240g LSWC in 44 mag cases.
I currently use CCI standard primers and Universal and am very happy, but I'm running low on powder.
Question: Taking into account, cost per pound, what commonly available powder is a good alternative to Universal. I'd like clean burning, easy to meter, known for accuracy and no magnum primers required. Obviously I'm not looking magnum velocity and will only use these loads for plinking. The load manuals, (which I have 4 of them) list tons of options, but I want to hear what powder you guys think goes the furthest, the cleanest. Thanks in advance.
I'm considering 231 and/or Bullseye. Any other ideas.
