This is more of a question of supplies rather than equipment so I hope I am asking this question in the correct area.
Is there an all around powder to use that will work well for all my different calibers? I am shooting hand gun rounds everything from .38 out of the wifes 2 inch snubby (light 105 grain swc for her to practice with) also 9mm, 40s&w and my personal favorite and what i shoot the most 45 acp. Largest I shoot is a 200 grain frn usually light (so the wife can have fun too) target practice rounds but I do want to shoot some at higher +P velocities for real world defensive round practice as well. I have all my equipement to start reloading, just getting ideas as to what would be the best powder and primers (large and small) to use. I would really like to be able to use just one powder for all my different calibers since they are all hand gun rounds and none are magnum type rounds.
I am sure there will several different ideas coming my way but I would like to hear what the majority of people are using to see if there is a certain powder most agree upon, and why you like that particular powder. I would like it to be a very clean burning powder too. I had a friend load a few for me before i decided to give it a go myself and he used a powder that he said he used in his shot gun rounds as well as his hand gun rounds and to me it seamed very like a lot of residue and a lot of smoke too.
Learning a lot in this forum thanks to all, so much info to be learned here and sorry if this question as been asked before and I missed it.
