Lil' help, Titegroup and WSF

[redruns]

Looking for reasons why I would choose one of these powders over the other. Wondering if the characteristics of each would be noticeable to my mediocre if not unremarkable skill level.

Titegroup
HP-38/W 231
WSF

I am experienced and really happy with W231 but the supply is running short. I can get an OK deal on Titegroup and WSF right now so I'm overthinking the choice. All I understand that WSF and Titegroup are far apart on the burn rate chart, and Titegroup is very popular.

Please provide some substantive comments other than "I've been using CFE Pistol, it's great!", or the "Titegroup is my favorite because I bought 16 lbs in 1997" I would really appreciate insight from someone who has experience with at least 2 of the 3.

Using one powder to make up loads for:
9mm 124gn IPSC Production minor
.40 S&W 180gn IPSC Standard major

Thanks for your insight.

I use WSF and Longshot 231 is a bit meh..

WSF and Longshot work for 40

WSF I found needs longer OAL in 9mm

I just use longhsot in 40 and 9 works great.

Titegroup is a fast burning powder I never hear any one complain about it.

Well, I briefly used 231 in 45auto when I was low on titegroup and I found it rather dirty. Now that I have more it's 231 for revolver and TG for pistol.

I've never used WSF.

I don't have a .40

I've never used ought but TG in 9mm because I have The Load dialled in that works well in any pistol I have.

It's faster burning than 231, so you're using a bit less, and there's more shots till your gun gets gunked up....possibly only because you're using less...

Otherwise nothing magical about it - it's a very good and very economical powder. I began using it when Bullseye dried up 3 - 4 years ago.

.40 S&W 180gn IPSC Standard major

Use Titegroup for my Limited Custom 40 in IPSC Standard Major
5.0-5.2 should be around 180 PF

I like it, it meters well, about as snappy as any 40 Major load. Seems accurate and consistent
