Multi use powder suggestion for pistol

[Y-T71]

Guys, Geez! 3 pages and every impossible powder to find these days recommended and nobody mentions the one that fills the bill. And you can probably find now today.
RED DOT RED DOT RED DOT I always keep a 8lb caddy OR 2 on hand. Will serve you for decades. Did I mention RED DOT?

You're right.
The only powder on the shelf at my LGS every single time I walked through the door was/is Red Dot in both 1lb and 8lb.

I've never used it but it probably would be a good idea to have some loads worked up and ready to go when the next cycle of panic buying takes place.

Edit: it's also the powder for the famous "The Load"

Good call!

Now why didn’t I think of that?
Post #6:
“W231/HP38 and TiteGroup are both good for .45ACP. Personally I like Unique but good luck finding any. Red Dot is also a good general purpose pistol powder but again, good luck finding it. What you might find is Promo, which pretty much is Red Dot.”

Used to use Bullseye for about everything, but can’t find it locally- been using HP38 for 45acp and .380- seems to work fine so far!
