    I think I would get 2 jugs of 2400, and 2 jugs of unique..... I can make my own black powder, but if i couldnt make black powder, it would be 2 jugs of 2400, and 2 jugs of pyrodex....

    I can load all of the guns that I NEED to shoot with 2400, but for shotgun slugs, buckshot, and waterfowl, blackpowder is the stuff to have... You can load all muzzle loader BP rifles and ALL cal shotguns either in shotshells, or by just using the brass part of a high brass shot shell, you can turn any single shot shotgun into a muzzle loading long gun....

    Unique, 2400, Bullseye, 4227.
    In all, the .41 Magnum would be one of my top choices for an all-around handgun if I were allowed to have only one. - Bart Skelton

    Clays= light handgun loads
    Universal clays=mid handgun loads
    2400=low end cast rifle loads
    IMR4895=for upper cast rifle to jacketed loads

    Maybe not ideal , but I feel I could do with these, besides I already have 4#jugs of 2 of em !

    Assuming not a zombie apocalypse scenario and just an exercise:

    Bullseye
    Unique
    2400
    4350

    That leaves me without a good powder for my 300blk.

    My favorite is 231 followed by Unique and then Red Dot, Green Dot, and Blue Dot followed by anything I can get my hands on.

    Pistol - W231/HP-38
    Magnum - W296/H110
    Rifle - W748

    I might be changing my rifle preference to IMR 4895 depending on accuracy tests.

    I actually don't use much more in real life. I have one rifle that prefers H414 and occasionally use W296/H110 in a couple revolvers, other than those and some ffg and fffg for play that's all I need.
