OK guys, I'm just getting into reloading. I've been acquiring equipment and I'm almost there.
Now I have a powder question. First, I HATE dirty loads, especially in a revolver, so I want powders that are relatively clean. Second, I am going to start with .357mag but I will start w/ .38spl almost immediately and I may move to .45acp relatively quickly and if I buy a .44spl,.44mag or .45LC revolver soon (very possible) I'd like to reload those immediately.
Well, I don't have a lot of room so I don't want a ton of components around. I'd like to limit things to three or four maximum containers of powder. So what powders are clean and will give me maximum versatility (light, medium and heavier loads for .357, .38spl, .45acp and one of the big bore revolver calibers)? Ideally I'd love to only buy one or two types to start with, though I realize that may be unrealistic. I do certainly want to be at 3 or less and 4 is the absolute max I'd consider. So, preferably with one or 2 and with no more than 3 powders which can I buy for maximum versatility? Remember again that these need to be relatively clean.
