The original powder trinity is Bullseye, Unique and 2400.

My powder trinity is W231(HP-38), W540(HS-6) and W296(H110)

I can load any handgun caliber with any bullet with those 3 powders and do it well. I'm a huge fan of W231/HP-38 for the .38 Special/45 Auto/9mm. I just won't do without HS-6, it's a great powder as long as you use a Magnum primer along with it. What's not to like about W296? It provides top velocities and good accuracy in Magnum calibers. I do have a bunch of other powders on my bench, I have used at least a dozen others but I always come back to those 3 powders.

As for Lil'Gun, I only use it with heavy bullets in .357 Magnum ammo that are going to be shot from my Marlin Carbine.

Hope this helps a little...
