We can certainly work it out either way, seems like I am always out! Thurs 11 AM I am getting the truck fixed but any other time or can meet you as you are leaving work too. Whatever works best for you.

I see some of you are saying you load 9mm with blue dot? I have 3 pounds here that I have not used because I didn't figure it would be good for 9mm. Everything I read said blue dot (being a mag powder) is good for hot 9mm but I have it saved here for when I do .45ACP. However I do have red dot, bulleye, longshot, and unique here in on hand all I have done loads for 9mm with and worked great. I tend to favor the longshot (prob because I have so much of it allows me not to have to change so much).

I have used BlueDot in 9mm under a 147 grain round and it shot well. I do not believe it is acceptable with anything lighter in 9mm. I just finished testing Accurate #5 in both 9mm and .45ACP and loved the results.
I use JB.... Johnson's Baby in all my precision loads... It lends a certain something to the mix... one or 2 grains of it on top of a non-compressed load will give you a different point of view.

For 308 mine was imr4064. And varget if and when you can get it.
For .308, I like H4895. I reload everything from .223 to 8X56R with it. 9mm Unique is a pretty versatile pistol powder. Some people claim it's too dirty, I don't see it that bad. If I had no Unique I would use Red Dot or HP38.
My go to rifle powder is always been H4895. I load everything from .223 to 8X56R with it. My go to pistol powder has always been Unique, though I recently score a bunch of Red Dot and Blue Dot I've been playing with.

OP updated!! I find it interesting that Varget hasn't made the list.

Fixed, thanks for letting me know!
Add Titegroup to the 9mm list. I haven't shot a lot with it, but I'm getting ready to load up a whole can's worth.
