As you become a reloading addict, you'll slowly increase the number of different powders you have on hand. In 1999, I had consolidated to two: One rifle powder. One pistol powder. I loaded .380, 9mm, and .44 Mag with the pistol powder. I loaded .220 Swift and .270 Winchester with the rifle powder. As I slowly added more cartridges to my collection, I realized that "working" is not always the same as "working well". Now, I have 21 different powders to choose from, and still need to pick up a few magnum pistol / small rifle powders (to, once again, allow my .44 Mag to reach its full potential). If you just want cheap ammo that works, a limited selection is fine. When you start chasing perfection with smaller groups, cleaner loads, and other mystical concepts.... your powder selection will grow.

That's what I am afraid of FrankenMauser, that I am going to start chasing that perfect load.
 (I am a little compulsive)
