Hi All,

I have a question for you reloading gurus, I shoot and reload for a number of calibers and would like to buy my powder in larger lots 8lb etc. The rifles I have range from 17 AH to 243 Win. and I would like to be able to load them all with just two or three powders, maybe even surplus powders if available.

So, If you were faced with the same situation which two or three powders would you settle on? Where can I buy good surplus powder to achieve my goal?

Thanks to all who take the time to answer, Happy Holidays
