i have only loaded 1000 rounds of 9mm. still very new, but in my town here, supply is very limited. looked for days for something and found HODGDONS "TiteGroup". it has worked well for me, even as a beginner, so if you cantt find anything else, it'll work. it is pretty smoky on the lower end of the charges. but anything over 3.8 grains has been fine. i cycle reliabily as low as 3.4, but it's too smoky and dirty that low. i'm keeping my eyes peeled for some hp38, pistol power, or unique. hoping to find something better soon. ive shot it all the way from 3.3 up to 4.4 and ive found a nice medium at 3.9gr with 125gr roundball using cci#500. so i have nothing to compare it to, but i haven't had any problems with the "titiegroup" except cleanliness, and i have had, well, some tite groups........
