One powder only
In spite of the fact it has probably been answered several times, I am unable to find it with the search function.
If you could choose one powder and one powder only, what powder would it be?
For ALL your handguns, rifles, and shotguns.
I lean towards "Unique" and "Red Dot" but am very interested in other's opinions.
Thanks,
Bob

I have to agree with you Bob, either Red Dot or Unique. Not the ideal for all applications but will handle all applications...Ray
-
Unique,partially because it's available in my small town....or was until the 'shortages' bit us in the back side.
-
H4895....covers most every cart. from the .222 Rem up to the .458 Win...also a great reduced load powder powder using Hodgdon's 60% rule for H4895...:-D
-
Nrut, what kind of shotgun applications does it have...Ray
-
Rifle=Varget
Pistol=Titegroup
Shotgun=Goex Cartridge Grade
Specialty=4759
Although, I am constantly amazed at the performance of Unique in all kinds of situations.

greetings I would go with UNIQUE. It is my "Can do" powder. Everything can be loaded with it... I have not tried 50 BMG but I would not be surprised.
You just have to be aware of the nasty pressure spikes as you reach MAX loads.
Mike... still unpacking and gathrering supplies.

Tough choice but 3F over 2F, Grex or Elephant. It is the original and dirty but will function in all aplications. Herco for smokeless.

Hodgdon's Triple 7 in 3fG. I can load anything from .25ACP to .458 Win Mag with it.
-
Triple 7! Well, maybe alright in cottridge guns, but for front loaders, I think it is junk.
Unique.

Promo. (just to be different)

Red Dot. I like the way it bulks up, and works OK for any of the cast boolits I like to shoot. If one powder was really it, factory loads would have to do for larger game hunting. 4895 if it could be two choices. Next week my choices might be different.
-
i have used unique to launch jacketed bullets at reuced velocities in rifles.
however i can't hit my ass with it in cast boolit loads in rifle type applications.
i would rather use sr-4756 if i had to load everything including shotgun with one powder.
or steel the magnum shotgun powder.

Red Dot, Green Dot, Unique, Blue Dot or 2400

How in the heck are you going to use unique in 338 Winmag? or to function an AR or AK?
There for, IMR-4064 & TiteGroup...
