For me Hodgdon then IMR. Then Ramshot.
Hodgdon by a landslide for me. I’ll usually burn 30-40lbs of Varget, 16-24lbs of H4350, and 10-15lbs of H110 per year in recent years.
It's 2022, whatever is in stock or I have in the stash. Beggars can't be choosers. Have you seen what people are getting for an 8lber of Varget?!?
About 15 years ago, right after I got my M1a, I ordered 2 8# cans of IMR4895, along with some other stuff, including a case of .380 ammos. I must have double-tapped the 'Order' button, because 2 separate orders arrived a day behind each other, and... yes... my credit card was suitably whacked. So... 32# of IMR4895 and 2 cases of .380 ammos, among other things. I was mad as a wet hornet for a while, as was the Master of the Checkbook... and then the First Dark Age of Reloading arrived... and I wasn't mad anymore. Not only did that powder carry me through 15 years of rifle loading, I had ammos for the .380's when there was absolutely NONE to be had for years.
God takes care of fools and drunks...
IMR is easier to get right now; 4064 and 4831SC. Haven't seen Alliant Red Dot, Unique and Bullseye; and Hodgdon Universal and CFE Pistol haven't been around since 2019. I found some PB and have been loading that for pistol and shotgun.
Would have been a bummer if you found out you didn't like 4895.
@Thomasss - Powder Valley has 1 lb CFE Pistol in stock ATMIMR is easier to get right now; 4064 and 4831SC. Haven't seen Alliant Red Dot, Unique and Bullseye; and Hodgdon Universal and CFE Pistol haven't been around since 2019. I found some PB and have been loading that for pistol and shotgun.

Me too. I don't understand why there isn't more votes for Accurate powder. I really like them, #5 #7 and #9 are my go to powders.#5 is awesome for 9mm so is #7, and #9 makes some heat in the 44 mag. Good stuffI can't be the only Accurate powder guy??? I do use Ramshot, Alliant, IMR also but I probably use more Accurate than the others.
This is a really good idea. It's called COMPETITION between manufacturers and suppliers, which makes better products and also lowers prices for all of us.I didn't vote because I need to vote for two and the pole doesn't allow for that.
I use Hodgdon and Alliant about the same and lots of each.
