Titegroup meters well from my Lee PPM. I use it for plated 124 grain HP with good results.

I haven't tried it myself, but a friend of mine swears by 231 for his 9mm. He uses a Dillon as well.
I use Bullseye & AA#5 primarily, and I have found that they both meter nicely. I bought the AA#5 because I was getting frustrated with Unique and it's lack of metering. HS-6 seems to work well also, but I haven't used very much.

I also have a dillon and use 700x for my 9mm with no problems,I have also used lots of 2400, bullseye, #9, h-2227 ,4895 not for 9mm but for other loads! once its set to that magic number I've had no powder change with the many types of powder.

+1 on the HS-6. Great powder.

Ramshot Silhouette for the 9mm also.

My favorite 9mm Powder is Power Pistol, but if left in for a while, it etches the green see through powder hopper on an RCBS uniflow powder measure.

Titegroup, Bullseye, Win231.

Titegroup, for my L & L Hornady progressive. no prob's meters well and always use powdercop die to ensure always have powder in each round.

Surprisingly, Unique meters perfectly in my Dillon.
