I have been trying to save more money on my reloading. As it is now I have 14 different powders that I use. I reload for 10 different calibers, mostly handgun. All of my powders have been bought in 1 lb. containers. I am going to buy in bulk to get the cheapest rates. I am going down to 1 or 2 powders for handgun and rifle.
The 2 that I have chosen for handgun are Unique and Bullseye. The 2 for rifle are Varget and Benchmark.
I have calculated the amount of reloads per pound for each powder and Bullseye and Benchmark are the most per pound. The way I calculated is there are 7000 grains per pound. For Bullseye the starting load for 9mm is 3.5gr. For 38 special 3.0. For 357 magnum 6.5. For 44 special 4.3. For 45acp 3.8.
For Benchmark I load for 223 and 308. For 223 the starting load is 22.7 and 308 the starting load is 37.
All of these starting loads are less than the other powders. I would like to know what powders you would be willing to go down to if you were going to chose only one for each, handgun and rifle.
