At the moment I am using Repton to dust my crickets with x3 per week b4 feeding to young lep gex. I gut load the crix also with T-Rex Calcium plus for Crickets.

I was thinking of trying a calcium only powder and a separate vit / min supplement.

What does everyone else do / use please? Any recommendations would be helpful thanks.

I use a pure calcium dust, I do this by putting a bowl of gut loaded giant mealworms (half grown) with a few pinches of the dust on them. The mealworms then just sit and wait to be eaten while covered in the calcium powder.
