One Powder

[1SOW]

Pistol: Vit n320

Unique. If I got a choice of two powders add 4895.

For me it would either be Unique or Universal Clays for their versatility. If I were more narrow-minded I would take 2400 because I love shooting my .357 Magnums with it- you can load from mild to wild with 2400 in said caliber.

 

[Arkansas Paul]

My main love is rifles so it would be IMR 4350 for me. Good in the .30-06 and the .280 both with a good range of bullet weights.

I mostly load pistol cartridges, but I'm gonna say IMR 4895 because when I do load rifle, it takes so much powder. An unlimited supply of free rifle powder would really get the price down. (and I probably already have a lifetime stash of pistol powder)

If someone was going to give me a bunch of powder and said it had to be pistol powder because that's what I use, I think I'd choose Vhitavouri N330.

I was going to pick W231 until I realized I have 10 lbs of the stuff which is for all intents and purposes is a life time supply so I would probably go with H4895. I was tempted to go with H4350 because most of my bolt action .30-06 ammo is loaded with that but for the M1 Garand I need 4895 and a lot of it!

 

[45-70 Ranger]

Shucks that's easy. Trail Boss! ANY cartridge can be loaded with it! Besides, I get .75" to 1" at 100 with it in my .45-70! Yup, Trail Boss for me....

I go with Unique, I like it for handguns. I dont very often load max and I could use it in reduced rifle as well.

 

[PO2Hammer]

I would go with IMR SR 7625.

 

[mboylan]

VV N140 for me.

 

[Mule]

For me it would be Clays. I burn a lot more shotgun powder than anything else.

 

[ljnowell]

Alliant 2400 or H335. Thats what I use the most of.

 

[steelerdude99]

I’d go w/ HP38 as opposed to Unique. Unique has many loads, but does not meter well from volume dispensers such as the auto-disk.

If your wife asks "why some many powders?" Answer back w/ “Why do you have so many shoes?”. [ Just get your blanket and pillow and head for the couch. ]

 

[RustyFN]

I shoot a lot more pistol. I would go with WST.

 

[azar]

There is still a whole bunch of powders I've never tried (so I don't know what I may be missing). But if I had to pick one powder I've already used and like it would Reloder 22.

 

[BsChoy]

It's gonna be H4895, IMR4064, or reloader 15....all of those seem to work really good with alot of my guns. Nod prob goes to 4895

 

[ambidextrous1]

Bullseye.

 

[Redneck with a 40]

I'd have to have two powders, I load rifle and pistol 50/50.

Pistol = Unique

Rifle = IMR-4895

 

[zxcvbob]

I'd have to have two powders, I load rifle and pistol 50/50.

So take the free rifle powder and buy your own Unique because it takes 1/10 as much powder per shot.

 

[howlnmad]

Since this is not a "the only powder you can ever get" scenerio, I'd go with IMR-4350. I'm not sure if I could make it work in the 30-30, 30-40 or 303 but it sure dones a fine job in the other 5 rifle calibers I load.

 

[wanderinwalker]

If I could have a free supply of one powder of my choice, it would be Varget. I use a lot of it AND it's been pricey lately. It works great in .223, .30-06, probably .30-30 (haven't tried it there yet), .45-70 and .308.

Oh, and after I win the "free powder for life" I want to win the "free bullets for life" and get a supply of Nosler .224" match bullets!
