Hey Guys,
Is there a good powder that will work well for both 44 Special and 45 Auto?
I'm pretty happy with my W231 for 38 Special and it looks like there are plenty of recipes out there for it once I get setup to load 9mm. It will be a while before I get a 45 but if I happen to catch some bulk powder in stock it would be nice if I could use the same thing for both calibers.
At this point I can't see my self shooting anything other than 38 Spl, 9mm, 44 Spl and 45 ACP in volume so I think stocking up on W231 and something for large pistol loads would serve me pretty well.
I see several loads for 44 and 45 using W231 though my hornady manual doesn't show it for a couple of the 44 Special bullets. Maybe I should just keep life simple and stock up on what I have now plus HP-38?
Thanks,
Chris
