So when I got into reloading only about 2 years ago, my initiation to the hobby was an estate sale where I basically was able to buy a lot of my reloading gear and expendables. The guy had a little bit of everything.
I reload both pistol and rifle. I can now reload for every caliber that I have.
How many different (unique) powders would you say the average person has? When I say average, I am referring to someone that has all they need before these messy pandemic firearm related shortages. I have 12 different kinds of powder at my disposal right now. I actually enjoy making a new recipe with a different powder. Kind of keeps things from not getting mundane or redundant. Keeps me interested when I otherwise might have been bored with reloading as a hobby/necessity these days. Being a reloading guy to me is like a chef that is making both their signature dish, all while trying new ingredients to come up with something better for the menu.
Does anyone ever just get rid of a powder that they don't like to use? Or does said powder just stay on the shelf just in case?
Just a simple discussion topic I was thinking about as I was organizing my powder yesterday.
