What do you mostly load for and what are your top 4 most used powders? 38/357 44sp/mag here. Bullseye, Unique, 2400, and H110 S.

I load a lot of 9mm recently started using silohouette with 115 and 124. 10mm I use longshot but recently scored someone blue dot. For 45 I use wst.
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.

Mostly 32 S&W Long and 45 Colt, but also a bit of 32 H&R Mag and 327 Fed.
CFE Pistol has far and away become my main handgun cartridge powder of late. I'd say numbers 2-4 are Unique, 2400, and either Nitro100NF or Trail Boss in the #4 slot.
I've been trying to shift away from TB, since it's sort of expensive to shoot per round vs most other powders, and kind of a pain to handle. N100NF has made a pretty good sub, but I still have some TB to burn through.

Titegroup for lite 32 H&R, 9mm, 38spl and 45 Colt.
LilGun for hunting loads in 32 H&R, 357mag and heavy 45 Colt. Better velocity and less pressure than anything else in those cartridges!
BlueDot, Trailboss and Unique because they're versatile but I don't use nearly as much as either Titegroup or LilGun

Good choices…..Though I’d drop 2400 and go with 4227! But, that’s just me! memtb

HS6 in 9/38/357/40/44mag/45 acp.
Clean burning, accurate, at/near top of the velocity, will show a double charge easily, and one powder for all.

.32's, .38's, .45 ACP's and Colt's here, mostly. I could get by with one fast burner (Bullseye, Red Dot, Clays, etc.) and one medium burner (Unique, Universal, etc.). What I have, and use, is all of them but would be quite satisfied with just Bullseye and Unique. I have no need for magnum-friendly powders, what I shoot that stuff in is rifles. (I don't hunt with handguns and practicing/paper punching 100's of shots with hard kicking magnums isn't my idea of fun.)

These days just .38 Special, .357 Magnum and occasionally 9x19, with the .38 Spl. reloading outnumbering the other two by some orders of magnitude.
True Blue and 231 are my overwhelming choices although I still have some 2400 and 296 around for maxed out .357 loads.

Anybody familiar with Silhouette? Started using it a few months ago in 9mm and use it in 357 sig. It’s one of the top powders suggested by bullseye shooters in the 9mm. Silhouette is the old Winchester Action Pistol (WAP) powder.

Lately availability has played a big part in what powder I use. I have added Titegroup, AA #9 and Blue Dot to my usual 2400, Unique, H110 and SR 4756 powders.

9mm, 38/357, 44mag, 45 Colt, 45acp.
Unique and 296.
Have played with Red Dot and 4227, and Universal. Like Universal, it could replace Unique. Pretty much the same but cleaner with lower pressure loads. Unique is only dirty with light loads. First 9mms fired with it I couldn't believe how clean it was.
