What powder couldn't you be without? for me, it's 2206H.(4895 by another name).
Simply because I can load all my centerfires except 9mm with it. Love it's versatility.

It’s gotta be Scheutzen FFg. There’s nothing you can’t load with FFg.
2209 is a very versatile powder as long as you're shooting something bigger than a 223
Yes 2209 for me.
2F every time
Scholls foot powder.
Himmmm can't think of any powder I can load my 223 Rem and 338 Lapua with. So I would go for AR2208 and just shoot the smaller stuff they are more useful when the zombies come anyway. Or maybe BM2 sheesh can't make up my mind.
2209
Moccona.
Swiss 2f or cfe223 for me as it stands right now
Got any loading tables for it?Quote:

Trail boss just for kicks.
W760/H414 and Win Supreme 780 can both be replaced by say 4350 and 7977 in my 243
2208 Works both 358 win and 223 but could be replaced by Varget(same) or 4895 or BL-C2
Z
N-340
Cocaine good for single barrels or doubles. Haha. 2209-2225
2209 and 2208. You can run pretty much everything with those two I have found. Nowadays I use a lot of black powder...
N320....
2213 SC
I use N560 and 2209, considering I have just bought 4kg of 2208 and 2209 , I'm guessing the N560, will take a holiday.
Yes a lovely mix of coke and nitro.Quote:

I tried using 2208 briefly in a lee perfect powder measure, and found due to the size of the stick powder that it metered like a dog. Is 2209 any better?
Yeah my lee meter hated it, used to break grains, 2209 not so much. I use an Lyman Auto Powder Dispenser now so no problem.Quote:

After this morning I like BM2 even more, 250gn .375 Sierra projectile @ 2704 fps average Extreme spread of 6fps from the chrony'ed shots all from a 16 inch barrel.
It's good in the 223 as well, 3070 fps with the 55 gr Hornady out of a 20 inch barrel.Quote:

Win-760 would suit as well be not as temp stable so 2209 is it.
ADI 2206H I reload .223 and .308 with it
