Powder Information

[gpo1956]

I need some help guys. I'm going to start ordering powder for my brother in laws outdoor store. I know the current situation, but powder appears in batches through different distributors and I need to have lists ready to place quickly once they become available. If you could, please list one powder each for pistol, shot gun and especially rifle that you use a lot and buy on a regular basis. I know what I shoot most, but at my age, I've cut back on the number of guns I reload for. I use H1000, 4831SC, H4350 and RL16 mostly myself. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Don't know about pistol and shotgun but if you can get Reloder 26 you'll have folks flocking to the store.

H1000 for magnums
H4350 for .308 based cartridges
Imr 3031 or xbr 8208 for .223/556
Longshot and blue dot for pistol and shotgun

I would think those powders would always be used and sell well

H4350, H4831SC, RL23 work really well in my 7mm rifles.
Alliant 2400 is great for 357 revolvers.
Varget, XBR 8208, IMR4064 work great in 308win.
Varget is my go to in 223
H1000 and Retumbo in large magnums.
Blackhorn in ML.
Lil Gun in SW500
CFE pistol in 45ACP

 

[Prairie Sasquatch]

Shotgun - 700x, Longshot, Unique
Rifle- H4831, Retumbo, H4350, Varget

 

[birddog 68]

Pistol- H110
Rifle- benchmark, IMR 7828, IMR 4831.
Varget and H 4350 are hot commodity and wouldn't last on the shelf.
Ramshot/Western powder is usually slightly cheaper than others and I have had good luck with them.

I didn't see H4895, Varmint, ARComp, or
LeverEvolution. Which I use in the 6ARC, BR and Grendel sized cartridges

I like Bullseye and Power Pistol too.

Haha this thread is quickly turning into "powders that I use" instead of powders that are widely used and in demand for retail sales.

I appreciate the participation folks.
