I have to admit Silhouette works very well in .40 S&W. It seems to be a little better match than AA7 with a 180 grain jacketed bullet.

For loading 9 mm for speed shooting I think it might not be the best combination. This is especially true when you are trying to load for minors. The speed with 115 grain bullets is normally around 1100 fps more or less. The best powders seem to be ones you can load at or above mid range to achieve the speed you are looking for. When you load to the lower end of listed data most powders tend to become dirty and some become less accurate. Keeping this in mind, faster powders are going to be better matches in this caliber.

If you are trying to come close to some factory ammo or S/D ammo, you will need a slower powder and for S/D load a good flash suppressor is best. Silhouette has a good flash suppressor.
