    These five powders cover the vast majority of my reloading needs:

    CFE Pistol
    AA #9
    CFE 223
    H4350
    H414

    Lil' Gun and HP-38/231 would be my next two choices.

    Think High Performance...

    SSG, what are you loading with Blue Dot?

    (I got a bunch during the Obama panic, just curious on how best to use it)

    Kirk, when I think BlueDot, I think Hot loads...

    For Revolver = Magnum... HOT .357 or .44 Magnum..

    For Semi-autos = High Performance... 10 MM Auto...

    BlueDot, like 2400 is a case filling Big Boomer type of powder.

    And YES--I also keep a BIG Jug of it around..HA HA HA....Bill.

    On primers I usually buy Winchester or CCI but do like Federal primers for my SP-01 Shadow using an 8 lbs. mainspring as they are the easiest to set off!

    Ok, good to know. I am still an orange* belt in reloading, now loading a mighty 3, count 'em 3 calibers.

    I want to do .44 next as I have revolvers and carbines in .44mag so it appears I have the food for the loads.

    *I am a second degree black belt in breaking my own reloading press.

    I would venture to say that if you broke a "Green" or a "Blue" press, that would put you at a FIRST degree....Bill.

    1500 is over but Knob Creek is coming up! My wish list is:

    Titegroup (may look at CFE pistol)
    CFE223 (replacing BLC-2 or H335 bulk powder for me)
    Longshot
    8208xbr
    H110 (I prefer 300mp but good luck finding it)
