While I like to "play with" many different powders, some for only one load in a specific cartridge, all this shortage stuff has also forced me back to basics.
My handgun powder trinity is W231/HP-38, W540/HS-6 and W296/H110. I can load anything and everything handgun with those 3 powders and do it very well.
Rifle loading on the other hand is a different matter. I seem to have a different powder for each and every cartridge I load, sometimes more than 1 powder too. For example, I use H335 for my AR .223 ammo and Varget for .223 ammo shot in a bolt action rifle.
I guess if I had to I could use H4895 for most of my rifle loading but I like trying different powders while looking for the best for each cartridge. (It's a sickness you know lol)
Right now I have partial jugs of 12 handgun powders and 11 rifle powder on my shelves. I too have to spread my reloading powder and primers across several different locations to comply with local fire safety regs. (and I do so willingly and without hesitation)
