Powder help

[Gary O'Neal]

I need some help guys. I'm going to start ordering powder for my brother in laws outdoor store. I know the current situation, but powder appears in batches through different distributors and I need to have lists ready to place quickly once they become available. If you could, please list one powder each for pistol, shot gun and especially rifle that you use a lot and buy on a regular basis. I know what I shoot most, but at my age, I've cut back on the number of guns I reload for. I use H1000, 4831SC, H4350 and RL16 mostly myself. Thanks for any help you can give me.

If you have trap/skeet leagues, shotgun powder. IMR 4064 if it ever shows up. A general pistol powder or 2.

 

[Gary O'Neal]

Thanks guys. I’m making a spreadsheet.

Hodgdon Titegroup for pistol…

 

[K22]

For rifle, H4895 / IMR 4895 works in a large number of rifles. For 30 06 size cases, IMR 4350 and 4831 are well established powders. IMR 4064 is another highly versatile powder.

For pistol, two comes to mind that has severed me well for many years, 2400 for magnum loads and 231 for modest and / or target loads.

 

[Gary O'Neal]

Got those on the list. Thanks!

 

[Bill Norris]

VV-N133 N165 for rifle. None for pistol or shotgun.

 

[JEFFPPC]

The whole VV line.

 

[jr600yd]

IMR-4064, Varget for rifles
Winchester 231, Bullseye for light loads in pistols
Winchester 296, Hodgdon H-110 for magnum loads in pistols

 

[brokeasajoke]

Any popular hodgdon. Unique will always sell. H110, 296, 2400 for mag pistol. I've shot some ramshot tac and like it but no other experience with other ramshot powders.

 

[CJ6]

Vv 3N37 pistol, small case rifle vv 135, large case rifle vv 165/565. If there are bench shooters in the area then also have vv133/lt 30/32

Accurate/Ramshot Western Powders
2495
2700
Tac
Exterminator
Hunter
Magnum
Mag pro
LRT
good powders, economical, lot's of load data by Western Powders and you can find them easy enough to fill a lil bit of shelf space.
Not everyone is willing to spend the $$ for some of the more popular lines, something to think about.

My favorites...

6CM - RL-16, H4350

5.56/223 - CFE-223, TAC, Varget, W748

The ones listed are a pretty good start.

 

[searcher]

I tend to use a lot of these;
Small rifle: IMR8208XBR, TAC, W748, Accurate LT32
Medium to Standard Rifle: Reloader 15, Varget, IMR 4064, W760
Shotgun and pistol combos; Red Dot, Unique (covers a lot of both)

 

[JSH]

You can see what is popular here, but………, I would be more inclined to ask the customers.
Buy it and they will come doesn’t always work.

 

[Gary O'Neal]

In normal times I would agree, but currently it’s just not that simple. I need to have lists together to get what I can get when I can get it.
