Just purchased a Norico NP 29. What powder do you find accurate other then Bullseye/231 & Unique. I know there are a lot of new powders that I haven't tried. I will be loading Hornady 124 gr FMJ.
Thanks.

Power Pistol. Burns clean, good accuracy in 9mm. VV 350 works very well also but is pricey.
 
I load 5 gr of Unique for me and 4.1 gr of Titegroup for the wife. Those are my two favorites. Unique has a harder push and titgroup is a little more snappy, if that makes sense
 
Load testing with HS6 in my CZ loaded down to 5.1 to 5.3gr under a 115gr win bulk fmj proved an accurate plinking load for me. Also easy on the hand. Ran it hotter in the 6.3 gr range and found good accuracy there too, max load is 6.8 and too hot for my liking. Also recommended for 124gr pills on the container.
 
I've used more powders than I can remember. IMR 800x is good for light low pressure loads. I love Power Pistol for full power loads.

Everyone seems to like Titegroup but I hated it, it burns way too hot! Shoot a magazine and the gun is ready to be used as an iron.
