What is your favorite powder for pistol/revolver and reduced rifle loads, and why?
It was named Unique because its burning rate allowed it to be used in a wide variety of loads. I've used it to load 38 spl. thru 12ga and 7.5 grs. behind a 240 gr. 44 boolit gives be exceptional accuracy.
My #1 choice is Bullseye, I use it in all of my pistol and revolver loads. I also use it extensively in reduced rifle loads. Unique would be my second choice.
I like trail boss. You can essentially load anything with it.. and it loads volumetrically.
2400 meters well, great for my 357 ,308 with cast and now I'm using it in my 45-70 .cleaner burning than unique too.
Unique. Because I've been using it for 50 years and hope I'm familiar with how it's going to act in a large variety of rifle, handgun and shotgun cartridges. Given a correct load I've never been disappointed with its results.
2400 for me. Couldn't live without it.
Bullseye in pistole and reduced rifle loads. I have always wanted to try c e Harris load of red dot and 24000 in 30 cal reduced loading but the bullseye works so good I haven’t tried it yet
I can't just pick one so I like red dot / unique .
UNIQUE for most everything, but I prefer Trailboss for .45-70, with TITEGROUP bringing up the rear.
HS6 is what I can easily get and works in many cartridges.
17.5 grains of 2400 has been a very useful load for me. It is superbly accurate in my 30-30's under a 311-465 or 312 440. It also does good things in my .303 Savage 1899 with a 311-291. It is very accurate with a 429-241 in 44 mags, and works well in the 45 long colt with a 250ish grain boolit. 14.5 grains works for my 357 and also works fine in 44 Special. I use Unique as well, but 2400 is better in rifle cartridges for mid-range loads.
hp-38 is what i'm currently using and you couldn't get a better metering powder in my opinion.
When I could not get 2400 I tried Enforcer works better in some cases. Best with 44 mag heavy boolits meters like silk.
you need an "all of the above" choice.
ETR7 (Spanish CSB-1) - when it was available and if you have some. I'm working off 16 lbs
UNIQUE!
