Been away for a long while, maybe somebody will remember me...
Anyway I reload for .45 auto, .45 Colt, and recently 9x19 and soon 9x18, but now that my edc gun is a jframe and so is my wife’s and daughters, so I’m loading mostly for .38...
Rifles it’s .223, 7.62x54, .35 Rem, and soon to be .30-30 and .30-06...
...and oh yeah I play with loading bird, buck, and slugs for 12 gauge...
Yeah I had trouble getting primers during the craziness (small rifle DO work for .38 in a pinch) but I’m ok for now...
I’m just getting into casting and have about 150 or so lbs of wheelwright ingots ready, separately pure lead stick ons and clip ons...I have accumulated Lee moldS for almost all my guns.
But I have never bought powder larger than 1lb at a time...
First Big Gun Show coming up since they were cancelled in March and I have a table...
SO my question is...if you wanted to buy ONE powder in bulk “just in case...” (OK maybe 2....). (Preparing for the next ammo craziness which could be much worse )
What would YOU stock up on...
I use now mostly 700x, w231 and Unique for my pistols, mainly 4064 or Varget for my rifles (LeverRevolution for the .35)
I’m thinking 700x, I shot a lot of my IPSC in the 80s with it, Smokey as heck on hot days, but I can use it for a lot of 12 gauge loads too...
And maybe 4064 for rifles...it’s a damm good universal rifle powder...
Let me know your thoughts...
