Powder

Quote:
i just got my new lee turret press kit in today and die sets for 45 acp and 38special. i am also goin to begin reloading 35 remington and 45/70 government soon. what would be a good powder to start out with? is there one powder i could use for both 45acp and 38sp? or are there 2 or 3 different powders i could use for eventually loading the 35 and 45/70 aswell?

If had to choose only 2 powders that will perform well in nearly all pistol and rifle cases it would Unique and IMR 4895.

Unique should give you maximum or near maximum velocities in your 45 and 38 with the same being true for 4895 in the 35 Rem and in all 45/70 rifles other that the older falling block models. Plus they tend to be a few bucks/lb cheaper than some of the newer powders brought out over the past few years.
