9mm Powder - Page 2

For me it's Ramshot True Blue, followed by silhouette.

I also use Silhouette in my 45ACP loads.

my personal faves are tie between be-86 & power pistol with cfe pistol 3rd place. I've tried a bunch of others but not better than the prev. For me, titegroup has too narrow a load range for 9mm but many guys love it.

I've used four different powders so far in my 9mm loads: Win 231, Unique, Power Pistol and Bullseye.
I use Bullseye for most of my loads but have also had good luck with 231 and Unique. I tried Power Pistol with several different bullet styles and have not been able to get acceptable accuracy with it so I've given up on Power Pistol for 9MM.

4.5-5.0 Bullseye.

AA #2 is about the same as W231 HP38 NO 2 is a little hotter

If you want to try a new powder I recommend "TiteGroup". I tested loads from 3.1 to 4.5 with a 115 grain bullet and I had no malfunctions and accuracy was unchanged. The groups moved but stayed right at 1.5 inch average at 25 yards.

VV N320 or Prima V. Both are very clean powders.
