Alliant Power Pistol or Accurate #7 for 9mm
Well for 7 years my trusty powder has been Win 231 for almost all pistol loads except 357 mag and 357 Sig.
Just finished up 500 rounds with 231 and I guess I feel a little adventurous since I have quite a bit of Power Pistol and a pound of #7 that I bought to try for the 357 Sig, I figure I would try one of them for my 9mm's. The question is which one??? After reviewing all the load data from Alliant and Accurate as well as Lyman's 49th, I probable would feel more comfortable with Accurate #5, but that's not an option. So, please shoot away and let me know what your experience has been with either. Still have over 500 more to load. Thanks Jim

I have to vote for Power Pistol. I have used it in 9mm and in .40 S&W. Great powder for those two in my experience. I loaded some .357 with it but have not been able to use it.
I should know how it is by Saturday how ever...Can't comment on the other powder you mentioned. Never tried it. Sorry. |

1st Power Pistol,2nd Power Pistol.3rd Power Pistol. For some reason it works perfect for 9mm with plated or Jacketed bullets.AA#7 will probably work good also especially for lead.You should try AA#9 for 357Sig,I have yet to find another powder that is as inherently accurate as that powder.

Power Pistol and #7 are both near perfect for 9MM, you can't go wrong.

Power Pistol has been a perfect 9mm choice since it was offered.
