I use the first four manufacturers listed but I'm guessing that I have more Hodgdon than the rest. Their customer service won me over long ago.

Mainly use ADI, with a can each of W-296 and RedDot.
No favorite, just use whatever I could get my hands to and wasn't too costly.
I vary the loads till I get a good result.

Winchester 296 for the lads .410

Mainly ADI powders (AR2208 Varget) and looking at Alliant (Promo). Also use a Spanish powder (PSB1) for my 32 gram and up 12g loads.

Cheers, Vince

I use IMR and Hodgdon for almost all rifle loads, Winchester for pistol, and Alliant for Shotgun. I voted IMR just because I seem to go through it the fastest!

I voted accurate because their 1680 (old ww680) is without equal for the cartridges that use it.

I use Hodgdon for everything. I used to use WW296 until I found out it is identical (same powder by a different name) to H110. Now I use Hodgdon for all my loading.

Depends on what I am loading for! Picked up some RAMSHOT TAC for dad's AR. It really likes that powder with A-Max's!!! Other wise I use alot of Hodgdon. My .25-06'Rem seems to really like the H414. And dad's .22-250Rem seems to like H380! The .270Win will usually get a H4320 or H4350. The rest well it just depends! For handguns..well heck that goes to Hodgdon as well mostly. Alot fo HS6 gets used by me.
