Whats your favorite 9mm powder? Ive only used HS6, cant find anything else but want to try some Powerpistol. What r u using?

Cheers!!

I was using 700x. Now our stores have been sold out. So I tried clays(not universal). I like it too, I use less per charge=more bang for your buck. I have good results with both.

Was Bullseye, now I'm liking PowerPistol.

I have been using W231 (HP-38) with good results, and you can get mileage out of it in other pistol caibers as well.

Titegroup......

Vihtavuori N310.

W231 but i have some titegroup that i will switch over too.

It's cheaper then W231 too, so that's a plus

I'm using unique right now. I honestly can't tell the difference between titegroup/bullseye/unique/w231. There was one that didn't burn completely but can't remember off the top of my head.

Titegroup I find it meters and burns reasonably clean.

hp-38/231, tigthgroup and i just recently tried HS-6 with a 110 gr SWC bullet meant for 357 and i really like that combo.

Bullseye, but I've never bothered with serious load work. My Inglis isn't a target pistol.

W231

Titegroup, but only because its cheap, meters properly, and was available when I began loading 9mm. I would likely have used bullseye otherwise, but it's been hard to find.

I've been using Alliant Promo. Because it is a flake powder it fills the case nicely, even at 3.5 grains per load with a 125 gr. round nose lead bullet. Not the cleanest burning powder around but it works and is weight for weight identical to Red Dot with similar ballistics. At about $100/8 pound jug I get about 16000 loads per jug or 1.6 cents per shot. Makes for cheap shooting.

I've used ww-231 for cast bullets and Accurate Arms #7 for jacketed bullets. The AA-7 is definitely nowhere near as smoky as the 231, but that could be the bullet lube....

I use GreenDot. I have used Bullseye as well, but greendot is all I had during the Great Alberta Powder Shortage of 2012-2013.

WSF is what I use

 

[caperbound]

Unique. Pretty much use it for anything that has load data for it.

 

[sandermar]

Power Pistol is my choice

I've been using unique for both my 9mm, and my 45's, but I could not find it. I just pulled the trigger on 4lbs of longshot.
