I have been reading a bit on this forum lately and would appreciate some recommendations.
I have been handloading and bullet casting for about 20 years now. I have accumulated quite a bit of stuff over the years too. With the component and ammo shortages of late I have been inventorying my stuff and find that I probably have enough for the rest of my life

I load for 9mm Markarov, 9mm Lugar, 38/357, 44mag, 45acp, 22 Hornet, 222, 223, 243, 270, 308, and 3006. I also cast bullets for 38/357, 44 mag, and 45acp. I have recently backordered some 380 and 9mm molds so I haven't cast these yet.
One of the bullets I cast is a double cavity 44mag WFN bullet that weighs out at 320 grains with my alloy. I use it in my 50cal muzzleloader with a sabot. I have also loaded up some 44mag ammo with this and shot them through my Ruger Redhawk.
I am thinking of loading up some more and would like forum input on recommended powders. I have Blue Dot, AA9, W296, and H4227.
