9mm reloading

[atomicsauace]

A friend of mine gave me a bunch of different powders and was wondering if anyone has used them for reloading for 9mm.Yes i have reloading manuals.Some of the powders are obviously not suitable/safe.The ones i have that i am inquiring about are imr 4227,accurate 1680,accurate #9,h380 and winchester 680(not produced anymore).I understand none of these are optimal but i have a bunch of these powders and would like to find a use for them.I would be shooting them out of a sub2000.Any real advice would be helpfull

No, no, no & no. All those powders are way too slow. Don't use them, instead just go out to your regular powder dealer and get a quantity of RedDot, Bullseye, WW231, Titegroup, WST.

if all you reload for is 9mm, then id say trade those powders for something different. 231 is my preference.

I was given about 12 pounds of assorted powders and just wondered if any could be used so I don't have to go out and get yet another type of powder.Guess i'll put some on the EE for trade.Out of all the powders that were suggested which kne is the most versatile and would work for .40 and .45acp?

I would check with your manual, Im not sure if there are 40/45 loads for any of those..... don't quote me, just check in your book Good luck

Don't try and load for what you have or been given.

Load what data is available in the manual & official sites like data.hodgdon.com, its tried and tested. Don't experiment, stay safe.

If considering RedDot, see if you can find Promo, it's same powder but is usually easier to find and cheaper.
