Hahaha - I was born in 1961Originally Posted by retread
Sadly, my first powder buy for reloading was in April 2013 - Universal Clays
I guess better late than never, huh?
Was given 700x as for shot shells in the early 70's. My first powder purchase was IMR 3031 for 243 in mid 70's.
Green Dot here for loading 12 ga. 1 1/4 loads to pheasant hunt. Mec, 700 12 ga. Age 13-14 , 33 years ago.
Blue Dot for 40s&w
1lb of Unique in the old square can, back in 1973 along with a brand-new "old model" Ruger Blackhawk in .357mag ($99 plus tax for the gun, plus a few bucks for the powder), which kept me shooting for a long time.
8# of Red Dot circa 1974 in a cardboard can to reload 12ga.
W-231 for .45acp
When that dried up (late 1980's?), I switched to Bullseye.

Mine was Universal for 20ga and .38 special.
Unique in the gold cardboard can, a Lee Loader in 45 Colt, in 1976.

IMR-4064 and 700X
It was a while ago,now i have a lot more types.
I picked up some IMR 8208 a few years back. I heard some good things about it. I learned about working up loads slowly so you don't get popped primers, and that a chronograph is a great thing to have when using a surplus powder. Over all, quite an enjoyable experience and a wonderful powder. I can't bring myself to load up the rest of it.
A one pound canister of Red Dot in 1974. I had some of my old Winchester shotgun shell primers that I passed on to my nephew who is just starting to get into reloading.
