I am just getting into reloading, so what is your favorite bullet, powder primer combinations for various purposes?
Practice/ Plinking
Varmint - 2 and 4 legged varieties
Home defense
any specific caliber?
my favs's are as follow's
.223 rem.
55 grain vmax
25.6 grains of hog. h4895
cci#41 arsenal primers for 5.56 ammo
.357 sig
147 grain horn. xtp
7.4 grains of hog. hs-6 (not a everyday load shows signs of high pressure on primer)
cci sp primers
.223 wssm
55 grn s.p.
39.5 grains of hog. varget
cci lr primers
.300 wsm
180 grain s.p.
62 grains of hog. h-414
cci lrm primers
5.7x28
35 grain vmax
6.4 grains of hog. hs-6
cci sr primers
if you want to duplicate do so at your own risk, I would start lower and work up, get books to check on your application and oal. or mail me and I can provide oal's I use. except for the .357 sig, none of these loads show any pressure signs, but once again read up and start low.

I shoot mostly .45 auto and .223 Rem
My wife shoots .38 special and I also own a 30/30
I am starting with .233 & .45 and as I add equipment I will load the others.
Thanks

Let's see,
I use IMR and H 4198 in the 223 w/ 55 grain FMJ bullets
I use Red Dot in 45ACP with cast 230 grain bullets
I use IMR 3031 in the 30-30 with 150 grain bullets
and in the 38 special I use Win 231 and Hodgdon Clays with most bullet weights cast and jacketed
charge weights will really be determined by the individual weapon that is being used.
