Best universal handgun powder..??

[billybob44]

I mostly use Titegroup for my normal, plinking handgun loads. Clean enough and meters well, most loads are 4-6 grains depending on caliber.

^^^+1 And-Yes, for me it meters well in a RCBS Uniflow+the measure in my Dillon RL550. Titegroup is my go to powder. When Magnum loads are called for, I use mainly H110. Hope this helps..Bill

Enough people have recommended Titegroup that I just have to say that I hate it. It is hard to see in the cases, it burns really hot and scorches the brass, and it makes way more smoke with cast bullets than other powders (because it burns so hot.)

I'll use it if it's the only thing available, but it'd be one of my last choices. I will admit that there's a lot of load data available for it; Hodgdon's is really pushing the stuff.

Same here. Not a Titegroup fan. Get some W231, or Zip, or N320, or.........
