I currently load 308, 223, and 40sw.
Soon I will add .380 (glock 42) and 9mm.
When the stars align i plan on buying in bulk 8lbs of tight group or w231 for pistol. I plan on varget for 308/224 but considering 8208xbr as well. Would you all recommend trying to keep it simple and have a go to rifle powder and one pistol powder with known alternates?
Obviously in a perfect world I could walk into my LGS and pick up any powder for a decent price, but that seems like a fairy tale. Pistol is simpler because 8 lbs will last for over 10k rounds, a year or 2 of shooting.
To diversify (and need to stock more types) or simplify and load up on one powder type when the opportunity comes?
