Thanks for the input/advice. Looks like I will be reading some manuals before buying anything. I was hoping to stock a few basic powders for range use/bulk loads but looks like there is more too it than I initally thought.

Good call, there are also some videos on youtube for reloading beginners. Most powder manufacturers publish some load data online.

Just ran across this thread while doing a search. I too am just getting in to reloading and was curious about different powders. I plan on reloading just 9mm to begin with. Any opinions on CFE Pistol powder. I have a read a lot of good reviews on it.

CFE is good.

IMR 3031- 20gr 5.56 62gr M855, and 40gr .308 175gr BTHPM. My go to for keeping both in stock.

And for those of you with good eyes yes that is Unique flaked powder in the scale not Stick IMR 3031.
