SL1 - thanks for the IDPA link... I would imagine I will be shooting light loads since my goal is not so much to be a top competitor as it is to hone my skills. Interesting comment on Remington brass; I have never been fond of Remington's factory ammo, although the reasons have varied with each gun. I'll keep that in mind!

Spammy H - part of my decision to go with the 650 instead of the 550 was so I could have the powder check station. A long time ago when my wisdom and attention span were less than they should be, I double-charged a round and didn't know it until I fired it through the gun. Fortunately, it was a .38 round in my .357 and no harm was done; I got lucky.

Is WW 231 still considered to be a versatile, clean powder for handgun loads? How would you compare it to Hodgdon Titegroup?
