powder question

redman.com1

I started reloading late this spring and noticed something strange:

I am using hogdon titegroup and CCI primers to reload .45 ACP,
my rounds are now extremely dirty. I haven't had to clean that much carbon out of my gun and off my hands since I used Wolf ammo.

Is titegroup just a dirty powder or am I doing something wrong?

What powder does Hornady use in the 7mm factory loads? Or what would best duplicate it?

Is there such a thing as a universal powder for 38,41 and 44? Trying to keep the powder selection down to the basics if possible. I currently have H110, unique and 2400 on hand. Thanks.

When you finish loading for a day or two, How long do you leave the powder in the dispenser. I have a lock and load hornady press with an auto powder feeder and was wondering how long i can lleave the powder in it. Sometimes i load a few then quit for a few days because of my health. thanks

Would someone please recommend a powder that would be serviceable for both 9mm and 45acp, and another that would be serviceable for both .223 and .308?

Thanks in advance.

I haven't started to reload yet but have most of the equipment. With the equipment I bought I recieved 3 cans of IMR-4831. I was reading an old Lyman book (copyright 1982) and couldn't find any referance to this powder. I have another reloading book but haven't had time to get to it. Is this a newer powder ? I'm thinking of loading 22 Hornet, 222, 223, 257, 308 and 7mm Mag. Is there an "interchange" or cross referance for powder.

Are IMR4350 and H4350 the same powder.

They are modern powders, listed in many reloading manuals.

thanks, are they all for rifle reloading and what calibers are they generally used for, small or large calibers, ect.

The 2400 is mainly used for magnum pistol loads. The sr4756 and 7625 are good for shotgun or stansard pistol loads. Should mention that 2400 is used by some for 410 ga. Not a bad selection of powder to have depending on what shotguns or pistols you have.

Hercules 2400 was originally developed specifically for the 22 Hornet. Hence, they called it a rifle powder. It has uses for heavy handgun loads, reduced rifle loads (especially with cast bullets) and in the .410 shotgun.

SR 4756 (NOT to be confused with SR4759!) is a medium-burning handgun and shotgun powder. It is very good in light to medium loads in many handgun cartridges.

SR 7625 is a faster powder for light handgun loads and shotgun.

I listed them from slow to fast-burning, for your convenience. There is data in many if not most manuals, or directly on the Alliant (formerly Hercules) and IMR websites.
