You can get by with two. Hands down it's Unique for pistol and shotgun. Rifle is a little harder as no one powder is as nearly ideal as is Unique in pistol cartridges. My vote goes for either of the 4895's for rifle with a close second nomination to IMR 3031. Unique's very versatile in pistol calibers allowing you to load everything from 25 ACP to 44 Mag or 45 Colt. You won't get the high end performance in your 44 Mag's, 357's or other high pressure loads but it's still accurate and can get you enough umph to take deer at close range with the large bores.
