I have used a lot of different powders. The last few years you buy whatever you can get and find a way to use them. Some powders are basically duplicates. For instance for loading 12 gauge shells I will use any of 3 or 4 powders that I have used in the past. I'd happily just take whatever one I find first.

But there are 6 powders I look for and would buy more of if I saw them for sale.

Like you, I could get by with fewer if I needed to - but I like to have these 6 on hand.
