Hi Guys I'm new to reloading have all the equipment now just need to get a couple of reloading manuals I'm reloading ammo for plinking 45acp, 40s&w, and 9mm and was wondering if there was one or two powders that would do the job for all three calibers would like your advice.Thanks Craig

Glad to have you at TFF, DB.

I would suggest as a great starting manual the current Lyman Reloading Book. In addition, you should have on hand at least two, or more, reloading manuals from the prominant bullet and powder manufacturers, i.e., Hornady, Sierra, Nosler, Redding, Speer.

Also Hodgdon has a great website that contains a lot of information right at your finger tips.

That aught to get you started on the right trail.

"Unique" from alliant powder company is great for all 3

"Power Pistol"-another great all-around semi auto powder. I even use it for reduced .44 Mag rounds.
