Mike Venturino has an article in this issue of Handloader Magazine about " Go to powders".
My go to powders are
IMR-4350 H-4895 Varget Titegroup
I use some Reloader 22, 869, Trailboss, and Longshot

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

IMR4895 far and away since I do a lot of less than max loads these days - as opposed to real "reduced" loads. H4350, RL-15, H and IMR4831 complete the list for most centerfires, with TAC used in the .223.

IMR4350 IMR4064 7977 RL33 These 4 cover about 90% of my reloading needs.
I have some Varget and a couple others for 'just in case' cartridges

H4350, RL15, H4895, IMR4831 for Rifle. Prolly could whittle that down to just H4350 and RL15.

H 4350, IMR 8208, and IMR 7977 can cover everything I shoot. I like IMR 7828 ssc, IMR 4451 and Big Game quite a bit too. Always trying new stuff so in a years time the list might be a bit different. I have a feeling that when I try RL 26 it may be a favourite quick.

My go to's are
IMR 4166 Big Game H4350 RL-17 H4831
I have a lot of powders on hand so this could change like Gerry said. RL-16 & 26 might make it up there soon.

I'm one that's always used IMR4350, since I started loading. I wanted to make the switch to H4350, but it's been damn hard to find these days. Here's the list of my "go to powders":
IMR4350 H4350 RL15 H335
With this being said, if I still had my 270w, I'd likely be stuck on H4831 and RL26 as "go to" powders as well...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
