The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - what new powders are you experimenting with ?

Seven years ago when there was another major shortage, I bought up multiple cans of the only thing I could get my hands on for my shotshell loading - 700X (I had previously been set on Green Dot for various reasons). Ironically, life cut into my shotshell loading, but I also had an eye on my handgun needs so I have more powder for my 9mm and shotshell than I can currently hope to use.

Primers are a somewhat different story, of course, but with my shooting being mostly casual, I'm not consuming ammo in huge volumes.
