What was your first powder...

Bullseye, 1978. I still have the empty 1lb.container. Every grain of that was shot in .45 acp through my Colt Combat Commander. I've tried Unique and Titegroup since, but my Combat Commander just about requires Bullseye, 4.6 grains of it. so I will continue to feed it what it likes and it rewards me for being accurate.

Bullseye for .38 Special target loads (Ruger Security Six), and Unique for .45 Colts (Ruger New Model Blackhawk). Both mid-70's.
 
Bullseye for a 45 cal 1911. I am under a year at reloading and have about 40 lbs of powder, 10,000-15,000 primers ( haven't counted recently) and thousands and thousands of projectiles. Going to buy more primers tomorrow at Cabela's 20% off Winchester sale.
 
Unique
9mm
2014

Starred with 9mm. Now that I'm better at reloading, and know what in doing (I hope! Haha) I really don't like unique. Especially for 380acp. The flakes don't measure well
 
Hercules Reloder 21 for a Win.70 in 30.06

I used this powder with Sierra 168gr. Match King bullets way back in 1970. My very first attempt at reloading resulted in a load that would consistently produce sub MOA groups.:D I WAS HOOKED GOOD!
 
H4895 for a 30/30 more than 50 years ago, how time flies when your having fun!! If I remember correctly the powder was in a paper bag and not the usual container.. William
 
Somewhere during the early 60's I bought a
Lee Loader for my .308 M70. Being a poor boy
I got a box of 100 primers and a lb of IMR 3031.
I was in bidness.
After many years and rifles I still keep some on hand.
 
Goex 2F in a .577 Snider carbine. Started reloading when I started buying guns I could not buy store-bought ammo for. Still use the old RCBS Rock Chucker single stage press and load 90% black powder.

Vihtavuori 3N37, because it was immediately post-Xmas, and my local Cabelas had hardly anything else left on the shelf. Tried it in 45 ACP, where it turned in a pretty abysmal performance. Worked great in 9mm though...
