I'm getting back into reloading after a 20-year hiatus.
I used to reload .38/.357, and .45
I used Hercules (now Alliant?) Unique powder for each of these rounds.
Now I'm looking at adding 9mm, .40, and .30 carbine into the mix.
I'm trying to find a single powder that would work well for each of these calibers.
When I crack open my Hornady Reloading Handbook I don't see a single powder that applies to every one of these reloading recipes.
So, I guess I'm going to have to decide on a powder and then go to the powder manufacturer's website and look for their suggested loads specific to their powder.
But, I need a good powder. One that will feed consistently through a powder measure and one that also burns cleanly. One of the things I didn't like about Unique was that it seemed to be a very dirty powder fouling my guns within a couple hundred rounds. Especially the ported 1911. (I'll never do that again...)
So, any suggestions for a clean powder that measures consistently through a powder measure?
Thanks much in advance.
