I'm planning on building 9-12k 9mm rounds out of my 8lbs of powder. That's a lot. It'll take me a long time to shoot that much.
On the other hand, for 2.23, 2500 rounds would be a high estimate, which is not a lot.

I made sausage burgers for dinner. German yellow mustard and a fat slice of onion for food measure. Three sides included buttered peas, a spinach souffle and tater tots.

Pork chops, green beans, and over easy egg. Big glass of milk to wash it down.
8 lbs of pistol powder would have me set for quite a long time. What's yalls goto pistol powder if you just chose one? Bullseye seems to be a common powder for versatility.
This is off topic, but howdy doody hoz!
Hot Pockets and Dr Pepper
I'm livin the dream.
Exactly. That's what I mean about 8lbs of pistol powder, if I could find a good across the board powder to use, would be ideal. Buy it once and have it for 3-5yrs. The problem then would be maintaining the bullet inventory.Quote:

I really enjoy WST for 40 and that's all I've got. N340 for 9mm too but not really that impressed by it. A friend swears by Unique. True Blue, Blue Dot, 700X, 231, Clays, Universal, and a whole bunch of others are good for 9, 38spl, 40 and 45.Quote:
