good powder for 9mm

[enefgee]

Another nod for 231 - yes it's dirty, but it's relatively cheap to load, meters well through the Lee measure, any resonable load for 9mm will overflow if you double charge (which is a very good thing when using a progressive like the Lee, with which you may have to scr*w while loading) and is amazingly consistant. Don't forget to get a factory crimp die and run all your rounds through it after they come off the progressive - makes a world of difference.

I'm using clays 3.9 grains under a 124 bullet making 130 pf low recoil and good accuracy but a little dirty

thanks for all the reply's looks like im going to have to get a few different loaded up and see what works for the gun ill have to look around to see where i can get the w231 and tg if anyone else has any reloading recipe's for 9mm that would be great

231, TG, power pistol all work well - maybe also look at AA#7 if you can find it - it was a factory 9mm powder and meters well, is very consistent and acccurate and is fairly clean.

I thought W231 was clean burning, but then I used to use Unique.

I used 231 until last week in 9mm. I wanted to try something new so i bought the new win. auto comp. The result was amazing. Clean powder. My load was 3.8 gr with 147 gr frontier at 1.10 COL.

i apprecate all the advice from all !! i have a ton to learn i have a good friend that has been reloading a while but he reloads just about everything so wanted the advice from a few others a 3.8 seems to be quite shy but if it works and burns clean then ill give it a try still have to take the drive 2.5 hrs away as nobody around moncton sells powder but ill be loading speer 125 gr as they came with the sale of the pro 1000

Unique, Bullseye and Red Dot, have all worked pretty well for me.

4.0g of 231 with a 124 cast bullet works great for me. I see great accuracy with it once the smoke clears

A dirty powder 231 is...

I use the Lee 6 bullet mold /w micro grove for the alox.

I use the exact same load as you. Bullets more accurate than me.

WST, HS6, Tightgroup then W231.

 

[stevebc]

I couldn't find Titegroup anywhere, so went with W231. I use 4.3gr with a Campro plated 124gr bullet, Win brass and CCI small pistol primers.

W231 works very well for me in mid range to max loads. Just as clean as anything else i have used. Also it's a ball powder so it meters very consistantly in powder measures.

 

[Cammy7s]

I have had pretty good results with Alliant Powder "Bullseye" Powder.

I use 4.2 Grains for 124 FMJ and 4.4 for 110 Grain FMJ.

 

[waterfowler1]

Which bullet are you using?

i got 100 speer 125 gr but ive ordered some cast aswell

 

[bigbang]

bullseye 4.2 gr. 124 gr bullet

I too use the same molds, it's a great combo for sure. Do you notice that your smokes???

I noticed that as well. I was able to get a consistent 4.3gr with my Redding powder drop, testing every 20th load and also at random, over 650 rds. Set it and forget it.

I've had great results with power pistol.
