Some of the boutique "high performance" ammunition outfits? Those guys are using the powder that gets them the -MOST- bullet speed, typically. Underwood, Buffalo Bore, Double Tap? They market all of their products around eye-popping velocity and in many of the cases, they actually reach the velocity they advertise. They aren't doing that with a pinch of Red Dot to save money on propellant costs.

Agree - but - they also get some real eye popping prices for their goods also!
The profit margin on a Porsche is a lot more than it is on a Ford.
I do know for a fact via personal conversation that a large commercial reloader bases his choice of powder on price alone.

And it's been my experience that MOST new reloaders all want the SAME THING out of their early choices in smokeless powder: "I wanna spend $20 on -one- bottle and use it for everything I own..."

LOL!
Some of us that have been at the handle of a press for going on 4 decades still feel pretty much the same!
If pushed hard enough, I got get by with just using Unique or 231
