So I do not have a one kind of powder for each I am looking to try and find one powder that will do well in a few loads.

As of right now I am looking at H4895 to do .223 .243 . 30-06 Your thoughts?

And for small arms such as 9MM. .38/357 Mag. .45ACP . .44 Mag . I have some Tightgroup for lighter loads in the .44Mag and some W296 for THUMP.

Nothing wrong with your powders listed, I'm a fan of Unique with some of those pistol calibers you've listed.

Well Ben Thank You. But do try some TightGroup I think you will like it better than unique. I know I know unique is the old stand bye that everyone says to go to. But it has been around a long time and the new powders such as TightGroup burn much cleaner and give a good punch.

But at this time I have only put it into .44 Mag rounds.

if your loading lots of 06 and 243s you might want to consider a slower powder for them. Something like 4350 would do well.

You are saving enough by reloading your ammunition and casting your bullets. Why settle for a powder that will work, rather than choose something that is optimum for that load you are loading. Powder isn't that exspensive.
