Well, Unique and 2400 for revolvers, HP-38 for the 1911. Most handgun powders aren't that hard to find around here now. I gotta go tomorrow and pick up a couple pounds of 2400. If there isn't any, Chuck and I have 296, AA-9 and H-110 on the shelf. Rifle powder is a bit different. Took me three days to find powder for the 06. Ended up getting something other than what I wanted but, will work fine. Was looking for Varget, ended up having to buy more IMR-4895(Could only buy three pounds because of a sales limit).

Winchester 231 and Winchester 296.......why because it works and the fact that I have about 32 pounds of each helps also!!!!

Used to use 231 but moved to WST decades ago. It's cleaner burning. Haven't looked for powder in years, no longer reload.

Hand Gun Powders
Over the years I have settled on Solo 1000 and Solo 1250 for all of my handgun loads, except for a few rounds with either H110 or 296 for the hot magnum stuff.
Of course it looks like Solo 1250 is going, or gone by now, but Solo 1000 is still used by some shot gun shooters so it is still available. I'm too darn old to start experimenting with new loads again.

1. VV N320; my top pick for loading 9mm. It shoots very clean, pretty hard to find.
2. 700-X; my top pick for loading .45acp. Shoots pretty dirty (shotgun powder), is very accurate and cheap. Right now it's pretty hard to find. 3. Bullseye. My pick for loading .38spl because it's cheap, accurate, and I like having it around. It's also hard to find right now. Both Bullseye and 700-X are "old school" powders. I like them because you can load pretty much any handgun load with either one.

Powder is starting to show up here in NC
It's been very hard to find any pistol powder here in NC, but it's finally starting to show up at some dealers at normal prices.
I finally started seeing TiteGroup at shows (overpriced) also. Just bought some Hodgdon CFE Pistol. This may be the new HP-38 / Win 238 powder. Adds a component to reduce copper fouling. 8 pounds at $170. Also found a new Alliant powder BE-86 which is pretty good. Probably a new formulaton of BullsEye. Burns well, and takes a bit more than the more compact powders (6.5 gn in a .45acp FMJ 230gn). Marc
