I know this is a question that will evoke many technical and philosophical responses, but given the current environment regarding materials supplies and storing up for emergencies/future shortages etc... what would be the best powders to buy to reload the broadest range of rounds. I'm starting to build my reloading supplies and I shoot everything from 9mm, .38spl/.357 mag, .44 mag (both 8'' revolver and 20'' lever), 7.62 x 39/54R, .30/06, 12ga et. al. Just trying to get an idea what some of you more experienced reloaders might choose as your "go to" powders for the broadest range of loads. I'm fully aware that these might not be optimal for every situation, and I could very well go through my Lyman's catalog and list out each suggested powder and see which ones hit the most range, but I'd like opinions on "If you could only choose 2 or 3 powders for the rest of your life, which would you stock up on?" Just something to get me started, and I can diversify my supplies as time/money/availability allows. Thanks!
