Just a bit curious about how many combination pistol and shotgun loaders there are out there.
I have been loading several pistol calibers ranging from .32 ACP -.45 ACP and use a number of different powders... looked today and have a variety of 8 different powders in 1 lb. containers. All have thier specific purposes and I have spent considerable time developing loads that my individual guns like. I have just recently started loading 12 guage for skeet and hunting...I know for the most part these are two different animals- but I thought that surely I could find some common ground with powder.
So... here is my question. Has anyone settled on a powder that works well for both? I know that I will be loyal to my pet loads to some degree... but I'm also looking for a way that I can buy powder in large quantities (shotguns burn a lotta powder!) to be able to capitalize on the savings 8lbs. containers provide. I have loaded Win WST for the shotshell... but have not tried any of it for pistol rounds... any thoughts on this? Surely I am not the only one that has encountered this dillema....
What do you folks think?
