Titegroup or HP38
Hey guys, I'm gonna be reloading 9mm with cast 124 grain LRN boolits. Just looking for comments regarding a good powder to use. Hodgon Titegroup or HP38 look like they have a good rep and nice ballistics. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

I like TiteGroup with plated, and jacketed. With lead I prefer Bull's Eye. It is a bit on the dirty side, though it seems to jibe right with my cast lead rounds better.

Titegroup has a terrible reputation with cast bullets.
It has a high flame temperature and really gets the bullet lube to smoldering and smoking. I use Bullseye for light and very light .45 loads, but HP38 for all other non-magnum pistol loads. I have some odds and ends of other powders, maybe I will load them up this winter and shoot them up next spring. |

I like a slower powder for lead for TG is out.
I have used plenty HP-38 and AA#5 with good results.

HP38 and N320 would both work extremely well for you.
