So no real consensus on powder, which is probably a good thing since it gives better "odds" at finding some in stock.

Accuracy is not a real consideration here- these are SD guns..not target.

How much of load development, if any, affects cycling of semi-auto's? IOW, HOW is load development undertaken?

I load for long-range target with our bolt guns, but plinking and SD loads for handguns is in a different zip code.
