I'm a relatively new reloader...familiar enough with the process to not blow myself up, but I still don't have all my routines figured out. So I have MANY questions still. Here is the latest that has been a thorn in my side...
Is there a tool that I can use to figure out what powder would be good for more than one cartridge? The idea is that I'd like to have the fewest number of powders taking up space/budget and still reload everything I want. I know how to look up one cartridge at a time and compare the lists, but then I need to do the same thing across several MFGs and I was thinking that it would be nice to have a chart of some kind (or better yet a website) with a cartridge list down the left side and a list of powders across the top, then a mark in the intersecting boxes where load data can be had. As an added complication maybe a green mark if it is a good volume and yellow if the load data and maybe a link to the powder MFG load data.
Am I asking to be spoon-fed? Maybe a little, but not completely, I feel that we should use tech for what it is good at...my brain is better at thinking than record keeping.
Or, alternatively, what powder would you use for 25acp, 9mm, 38spc, 357 & 45acp? Is there a single powder or a pair of powders that covers all of those?
I just joined so I haven't posted alot, but I've read quite a bit on the site, so thank you everyone for everything you've already shared.
