If I'm only trying a powder out, all I'm gonna buy is a lb. Not about to buy anymore and end up not using it because I don't like it. So if you're new to reloading, I think buying small quantities is the best way until you find which works best for the application. MPO anyhow.

yeah,
the up front costs are always a shock.

Yep; buy in bulk once you decide which powder you like best! Me I like Black Powder the mostest followed by Hodgon's Titegroup, and Lil Gun then Winchester 231
