Thank you all for some very helpful advice. I believe I will take baby steps and just settle on a good jacketed bullet starting out. Don't want to get overwhelmed trying to figure things out all at once. I have a job for that. And that defeats the purpose of having a hobby. Key word hobby. I'll learn the basic's first then go from there.

My decsion to use Unique was based off of noticing in my Hornady reloading manual I could use that powder for 38's or 357's. So I was trying to be cost effiecent by ordering one powder for both bullets. But, I guess instead of buying a 4lb. container of one powder I could buy 1lb. containers of 2 or 3 different powders and have some variety. Any suggestions?
