Good advice! but I don't mind having a bunch of powder on hand that I have to "get rid of"! My boys love to plink so I burn through bullets, powder & primers pretty fast. I'm sure I could find a load and let them at it ; )

That is why I like the ball powders! I’d carefully weigh 100 Varget loads. Get to the range and hand them to one of the kids. Ten minutes later they’re tapping on my shoulder. “I’m out of ammunition”
 
Yes! ball powders are the way to go for volume. My oldest is 11 yo. He helps me reload now so he understands why we "let the barrel cool"! HA HA HA that's my way of conserving some ammo ; ) Now we make ammo from a progressive most of the time just to keep ahead.
