TiteGroup is a very good powder...as long as you realize its a low volume powder --- with minimums and maximums very close together in a lot of loads.....

.....but its only a problem if you can't get your press to drop a consistent charge.

I've switched a lot of my handguns away from TiteGroup - only because a year or so, it was hard to get for some reason....and I am now using Hodgdon Universal in all of my handgun loads from 9mm to .44 mag....and in my area, 8 lb kegs of Universal are very easy to get ...my gun club often stocks 3 or 4 of the 8 lb kegs virtually all the time ( and its a powder I also use in 20ga and 28ga shotshells ) ...

but if TiteGroup is available again, I'll go back to it...
