I got a mess of .105 gr. lead bullets for .9mm and so now I need a good powder for that weight bullet.
Any suggestions ?
thanks in advance, Pete
 
I would want a fast burning powder - Titegroup/Accurate 2/W231/Bullseye
Anyway that's what I'd be lookin at

Just my 2¢ YMMV
 
When I was shooting lead (124s) ( 9mm Luger) I really liked Universal
For the lighter 102s if I was buying powder I would choose AA#2.

However, I would be tempted to load them with whatever I had on hand that I could find data for. (115 lead data might be a good start if you can't find data for 102s....MAX charge with the 102 should be a little higher but that data should get you in the ballpark)
Sometimes you can just never guess what you gun might like best, I am thinking a powder on the fast side of the 9mm range but it could be happier with something on the slower side like CFE-P,
no way to know for sure until you try.

Which one do you want to reload?
If it's 9mm Luger aka 9mm Parallelum you could try many of Vihtavuori's pistol powders.
N310, N320, N330, N340 and even 3N37 may do the job for you.
Depending on bullet and weapon.
 
You need a copy of Lyman's Cast Bullet Handbook. Shows loads fo Titegroup, Bullseye, 700-X, Zip, N340, Unique, Power Pistol, HS-6, Acc #5. I can't help with the numbers, my copy has a termite hole in the chart. :cuss:
 
Thanks to all who replied. I've got Accurate #5 and HS-6 powders and based on the above comments I've put together a reasonable load that is working well. Pete
