We ALL should be glad that everyone does NOT prefer the same powder.
Jerry If shelves are any indication, it would seem that we all do and that it is H4350.

I only have 1 reloading outlet close to me and they keep H 4350 stocked.
OTOH they didn't KNOW about IMR 4451.

IMR 4350 has become hard to find, went to the gun show a couple of weeks ago and bought the last pound of IMR 4350 in the place.

Yes, we need 4350 because 4451 is scarce at least here. I only have 1 reloading outlet close to me and they keep H 4350 stocked.
OTOH they didn't KNOW about IMR 4451.

I have a few favorite powders, for fairly large cases - H1000 & H4831sc, medium-large IMR4350, for medimum cases H4895, for revolvers -- Unique, 2400, and H110.
I'm getting new favorites though: H4350, TAC...
Am working on the Reloder powders, 26 looks promising. Am trying the Endurance powders.
But I have at least a dozen other powders on the shelf, including FF, FFF.
It's a ways to a dealer who stocks powder, so I generally have a fair selection on hand. It was irritating the other day when I reached forIMR4064 and found I'm down to < 1/4 lb. Either drive 100+ miles one way or order on-line. 😡
I prefer classic.

H-4350 and 4831SC, they can about get it all done in a pinch here. Two great powders for large capacity cartridges like 7mm Mag and the .30 Mags I load H4831 in my .450 #2 NE 110grians. Boom! I really like RL-17, H4350, H4831, H1000. I have quite a few other powders I use in a load or two, but those 4 just seem to always produce really good accuracy. Since I love the medium size cases the most, RL-17 is my most used powder, and it sure seems to have a bit of zing. Can't imagine not having a bunch of it stashed. I'm just getting acquainted with R17. Big fan of R19 and R15. You bet Hatari, I load the H-4831 SC in my 500 and 577 Nitros and 505 Gibbs, really a great powder that fills the big cases nicely, I've never been a proponent of light charges of faster burning powders and cornmeal, plastic pellet, backer rod fillers.  If someone can't handle the recoil from their chosen big bore without filling the cases half full of malto meal/cream of wheat breakfast cereals they need to drop down to a smaller bore.

TAC in .223, black rifles and bolts.
IMR-4064 in .243, 6.5x55, .308 Win can be used in .270 Win.
Haven't settled on slow burner yet, considering Reloder 17, 22, 25 or 26, IMR-4350, or maybe Accurate MagPro.
Have had surprisingly good results with Alliant Power Pro 4000-MR in .270 Win. Might try it in 270 WSM and .300 Win Mag
