Thanks guys... WEALTH of knowledge here. Scorch has confirmed what I've read and heard... while for rifle not one powder is ideal for ALL, you don't really need shelves full of a dozen different powders. That said... as I eventually get more into this I will probably experiment with fine tuning. That is down the road. For now, going to pick up some 4895, 3031 for rifle and Unique for pistol calibers. That won't be for a couple weeks though... any more comments appreciated.
