Hunting loads that really don't apply to this thread.
 
Load mine. 9mm. Minor

BadMan 124 or Extreme 124 / 147
Ramshot Silhouette / CFE Pistol / Alliant power Pistol / BE-86.
Sellier & Bellot primer
 
Cheap, relatively smoke-free coated projectiles. Lately SNS and Blue Bullets.

Titegroup for pistols, spherical ball powder for .223

Any brass that isn't cracked or asymmetrically bulged.

Small rifle primers, so that I only need to buy one type. Also beneficial because small rifle primers are frequently cheaper than small pistol primers. I prefer CCI.

I am considering doing something different for major match ammo. Like jacketed projectiles from Precision Delta and sorted range brass. At nationals this year I had a case web blowout that cost me 4-5 seconds delay.
 
I load most of my match ammo

I use blue bullets and xtreme
Powder titegroup and bullseye
Primers sellier & bellot or cci
Range brass
 
I load.

.223:

55 grain Hornady fmj- CCI sr primers. H-322

60 grain vmax- IMR - 8208 XBR CCI #41

75 grain Hornady bthp- IMR - 8208 XBR - CCI 41.

9mm:

147 gr xtreme - CCI 500, VV - N-320.

45 ACP:

230 gr blue bullets - CCI 300, VV - N 310.

I buy shotgun. Not worth the effort to load.
