    The powder that you couldn't be without

    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

    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.

    Yep, but always have an overpressure situation in due course no matter the load, so always go full case

    2208, works well and does most of the calibres I reload. Maybe all, but I would have to check the book to see if it can do 243 as well.
