I currently use the ramshot line of powders. I have been very happy with all of them.

Only ones I use are:

H4350 - .22-250, 243, 6.5 Creed
H4895 - .223, .308

Tried Varget, IMR-4064, and IMR-4350....didn't really like any of them.

Never heard of titegroup.
But im familiar with group tightener, the liquid variety.
But i use H570, (yes thats what i said), Retumbo, 7828, H 50 BMG, 4831, 4320, 4895, H331, and thats pretty much it for rifles.

Varget for 90% of my rifle loading.

I have a stockpile of IMR4198 and 3031 but don't use it much.

Pistols are 700x and Blue Dot.

I purposely thinned out my stockpile of guns and powders several years ago. The ones I kept are the ones I shoot/carry (except for two sentimental ones).

With me, it will change. Current wild cat has been favoring Staball in
the 168 class bullets (7mm) and the 180's are looking good with Ramshot
Hunter. Both beating out my R-16, R-23, H-4831. Pistol's is still WW231,
old lot 452-AA, Blue dot, and 2400. Shotguns, Green dot and old lot WW540
Still have large quantities of steel canned IMR-4064, which I mainly use just
for fire forming.

For what cartridge? If you have a 223, a 308, a 270 and a 6.5 creedmoor your powders might be different than a 7 mag and a 300 winmag. So, this post cant mean anything without defining that but I will play anyway.

Rifle; 4895, 4064, R-15, 4350, 4831sc

Pistol; W231, Tightgroup, Power Pistol, HS6, HP-38

NICE LISTS,
but
since there is no powder to be had,
its all just a dream for those that did not prepare.

We've got quite a bit of powder at the local shop. I've actually stocked up some more, and at same prices as last year.

Unique for jacketed .38 Spl
Bullseye for lead .38 Spl HBWC
VV110 for jacketed .357 Mag
2400 jacketed for .44 Mag

- above for pistol -

So I'll take my "top 5" for rifle:

IMR4198
H4350
H4831 (and 4831SC)
R-19

I have some IMR4451 to use up that didn't work out in my .260 REM and that is probably going to go into .303 British to use it up.

But for my fifth powder I will have to say: black. I have a goodly supply of FFg and FFFg and a few pounds of FFFFg priming powder (as a luxury - 3 or 4 grains as a priming charge) for my sidelock/flintlock rifles and smoothbores.
