First powder you dropped?

[Grizzly Adams]

Unique in a 357 case over 30+ years ago, great memories ��

[OverMax]

Either Alcan #5 or Alcan #7 one or the other as that was indeed a L~~ong time ago.

[jrmartin1964]

Hercules Bullseye, when it still came in square metal cans.

[Dave C.]

WW231 in a 38 special in 1982.

[alamogunr]

AA#5 in a .45ACP. 7.0 gr under a 230 gr. FMJ.

[TXGunNut]

Unique in a 9mm nearly 35 yrs ago. Still have the dies, a few of the bullets ($6.50/100!), probably even some of the brass but the gun was trade bait long ago. Can't even recall the last time I've fired a 9, moved on to bigger and better things since. I'll keep the dies and components anyway, you never know.

[chsparkman]

Green Dot in .38 Special back in 1993. A fellow teacher showed me the ropes at his house in Hesperia, CA. I can't thank him enough for introducing me to reloading and casting.

[Tom W.]

Unique for a shotgun back when the grass was green and the sky was blue, and the water was fresh and clean.

[Eddie2002]

IMR 4350 pushing a 180 grain .311 round nose bullet for a 7.7 Jap. Shot a 800 Lb elk with one of the reloads back in '73, ate the elk, kept the rifle.

[BenW]

Blue Dot for 40

[fcvan]

Unique, Federal paper 12 gauge, 7 1/2 shot, dove season after I got my hunting license. Dads Ithaca 37 would only feed paper cartridges, but that shotgun shot very well. I can remember turning on the radio and loading shot shells for hours after school. That had to be 1973, 7th grade. Good memories.

[tsubaki]

It was either BL-C(2) for the .223 in late 1988 or Red Dot for the 32S&W Long in early 1989.
My wife's uncle and I played around with at least 29 different cartridges/loads after he retired from the Air National Guard.
Still got the data.

[Motor]

It was very likely W-760 while loading for my 6mm Remington on my friend's and reloading mentor's equipment. This was sometime back in the early 1980s or very possibly late 1970s.

Bullseye for 45 acp. Wish I could find some but scored a couple of W 231 so that's close.
