Must-have powders
So the "panic" thread got me thinking... if I were going to stock up on powders, which ones would I concentrate on? I reload .38, .357, .45 Auto, .45 Colt, .30-30, and .30-06 with occasional other stuff thrown in (.225 Winchester, anyone?).
I didn't have to think too long to come up with the following list:
* Unique
* IMR 4895
* IMR 4350
If I were going Cadillac-style I'd throw in a magnum pistol powder (say, 2400), but honestly I could live without it. I think I'd rather have an extra jug of Unique, really.
What are your thoughts?
