Appreciating the suggestions.
I'm not looking for A do all powder. Just things I can buy bulk of that are capable of cost effective and accurate reloads.
If I need one powder for the lead 9mm and .45, another for the fmj's, and something different for .40, I'm ok with that.
Ideally I'd like to have 2-3 that accomplish all the loads in the op, but if I need more than that to get the job done safely and effeciently that's what I need to know.
Thanks again for all the help so far
If I were to only pick one powder it would be Titegroup or Unique. I would go for Titegroup just because it is cleaner to shoot. Go to the Hodgens web site and research for the loads you are most interested in.

Getting a stockpile of reloading equipment and supplies.
Looking to build loads for the following handgun setups. And I'm interested in any suggestions for powder that is efficient and versatile.
9mm 124 gr played/fmj.
9mm 147 grain lead
.40 165-180 plated/fmj
175 gr lead
10mm 180-200 gr fmj
10mm 220gr lead
.41 mag 210 gr lead
.41 mag 175-210 jhp
.45 185-230 grain lead.
It there is any powders that work across several of these efficiently I'd like to know. Please let me know what you use and what you have had good results with.
3. HS-6-Can almost make Magnum loads with all 5 calipers listed, with safe pressures.
Billybob, I have a couple of friends that really like HS-6 also, but I got bad news. I stopped in at Hodgdon last fall. I figured I would pick up some for my friends. It has been discontinued.
