Dang ATF and the nitrocellulose issue. I am concerned the issue comes back unannounced and then powder prices will go through the roof. What I know about reloading is not a lot and when it comes to powders I can look at charts and such, but actual experience from you guys trumps what I know by a mile.
I hope I am wrong about future availability of gun powder but better safe then sorry.
Performance and interchangeability are the biggest factors here with cost dragging up the tail end of considerations.
So if you could only have 6 powders on hand what would you keep? You know where I'm going with this to be supplied in the future when there may be no "cheap" powder.
How about a two shotgun powders? Something for buckshot and slugs and then something for squirrel/rabbit/bird hunting.
And how about two pistol powders that will work with:
- 9 MM
- 40 S&W/10MM
- 45 ACP
- .357/38
- 44 mag
And how about two rifle powders that will work with:
- .223/5.56.220250
- .243/.270/308/30-06
- 30-30
- 444 and 450 Marlin
- 7MM Mag/ 300 Win Mag/7mm rem Ultral Mag
- 50 BMG Admittedly this may be a 3rd powder...I dunno
Now you guys being creative and such probably can cross platforms with several powders and then maybe I find out 6 total powders are not enough to load the ammo I have listed above. I tried to group together what I think should be like applications but then..like I said, I dont' know much about reloading.
Thanks,
Ken
