I opened up the cabinet today to do a bit of reloading and just for giggles I thought I'd take a quick inventory of powders in the cabinet.

I had 15 different powders. 15.

Pistol:
HP38, 2400, H110, Unique

Rifle:
IMR 4129, IMR 3031, IMR 4831, H4350, H4831sc, H4895, RL19, RL22, RL25, Hunter and TAC.

So, how many powders do you have on hand?

8 Powders for me right now.

IMR 4350
IMR 4064
IMR 4320
WW 760
Varget
H 322

Reloader 15

BL-C(2)
H322
Win780
H4831SC
IMR4064
H380
H4895

13 -Please don't ask how many different bullets that we have in the cabinets.

I've probably got a couple of dozen, but there are three or four with which I do most of my reloading.

Way too many.

Probaly 12-15 for rifle alone and 99% of my loads are probably done with 4-5 powders.

Are any of you expecting a visit from your local fire chief? roger

This is a good question. I currently have:
IMR3031
IMR4064
IMR4350
IMR4831
BLC2
CFE223
H380
H4350
H4831
Varget
Reloder 7, 15, 17, 19, and 22
I guess that makes 15 different powders.

I'am with Rusty

haven't been read my rights yet, need to talk to a lawyer

I only reload for 4 cartridges so I only have 3 powders: IMR-4831, IMR-7828 and US-869. I don't reload for any handguns as the powders I have on hand suggests.

Ken....

I have 8 different kinds. One each except for 3 cans of trailboss.

I have more primers than powder to use. Still have about 4k.

Thank you, Clinton, Fienstien and Boxer

IMR-4350 that I use and nearly empty. Trail Boss that I use but about half full still.

2400 and Bullseye that I was given FOC from the effects of a now deceased re-loader.

Vihtavouri N-150 that I used to use in 303 when I couldn't get Vihtavouri N140 and finally some European SP7 that is like black sand. The Ramshot powders are probably USA equivalent.

I am very much a "one powder fits all" re-loader and having worked up good an accurate loads with RE-22 and trying to do the same with the slightly faster IMR-4350.

I only re-load in 6mm Remington, 270 Winchester, 280 Remington and for my Winchester 94 in 44 Magnum.

Just counted 23 rifle powders and 1 for the blackpowder.

Many kinds used in the past but two powders in bulk-Varget and H4895.

Looks like the average would be 12-15 . Personaly 17 different powders , not counting BP subsitutes .

I have Re22, 4831, AA4064, IMR 4064, varget, re15, tac, both 4895s, 335, 322, re7, 3031, 4198,

goex ff, blackhorn 209,

ww680, 296, aa9, 2400, 800x, 231, vv105, and bullseye.

some are almost empty, some are full.

Handgun (5):
American Select, HP-38, Longshot, Accurate 4100, Accurate 5744

Rifle (8):
Accurate 2230, Accurate 2520, Varget, BL-C(2), Reloader 15, Power Pro 2000-MR, Hybrid 100V, MagPro

Black (2):
Pyrodex FFG, American Pioneer

Bear, I guess you haven't froze out yet, been minus 40's last two weeks out this way. Have to stop by once our road opens come Spring and see what all ya got for myself. Sometimes I wonder if I got what I really need, but figure someday the kids or grandkids will shoot the stuff off if I never get through it all; and yet I will continue to buy more.

I have 23 different powders in the cabinet. Out of those, 5 of them were manufactured by Dupont (shows how often I use them). Out of all those powders everyone has, what are “your go to powders”, the ones you buy in canister?

quote:

your go to powders

IMR 4895, RL15, Rl19 and Rl22 cover the vast majority of my rifle loads.
Toss in AA 2230 and 2460 to cover my 223 and my rilfes are pretty much covered.

Twenty seven including my black powder.

Good grief - enough to supply an army.
Anyway, yup!! A tad on the cool side over here in the Tanana Valley. Been about -30 or so since around Turkey Day. Been about -40 for the last 4-5 days. No let up in sight. Need a storm down in the gulf to warm things up a might. Oh well. Helps keep the riff-raff out of the area - specially the wimmen. If they don't like it, then daddy ain't gonna be happy.
Have a lot of "honey-do's" to complete come breakup so my time at the range may be a bit limited. Oh well, I'm pretty well set for next season but would like to mess with the WSm a bit more.
Anyway, take care for now & Merry Christmas. Don't go freezin' yer buns.
Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread.
Later, Bear

AA 2230 has become a powder of great interest in the 223's I own or load for.

My answer is less than the max legal limit and I am sticking with that. That would be # of different powders and total amount of powder.

I am not sticking around if the place catches fire.
