If your loading on a progressive true blue would be first choice. I hand weigh every charge and prefer the flash suppressant of Silhouette. They are basically the same burn rate.

+1 on True Blue metering. Very Consistent!!! I like it compared to some others I've tried.

Yes, 95/100gr normally .380 bullets can be fun in 9mm!

This goes back to the first post in this thread... where I was testing loads, and found something that works really well in both my pistol and subsonic carbine. It was stated that the RMR bullets were more accurate than the Berrys in the carbine.
The chrono data in the first post was with 147 grain Berrys plated bullets. I loaded the same load (3.8 grains of HP38) with the 147 RMR bullets. I have to say, the Berrys bullets are a lot prettier, as they are copper in color, where the RMR are brass plated. lol
Anyway, below is the chrono data, as well as a picture of a target. All brass is mixed, and there probably weren't two of the same brand in any of the 5 shot strings/groups. lol Out of the three groups, you can probably guess which two are the RMR, and which is the Berrys.
First, chrono data:
Pistol
993
982
990
994
988
Carbine with 10.5" barrel
1060
1071
1060
1065
1068
Very pleased with the consistency of the powder. Also tested some 4227 300 BO loads, and they were not as consistent with velocity spreads of almost 40 fps. Still looking for something that works really well with that in a 10.5" barrel. The gun has a pistol gas system and cycles with about any load.
Anyway, the pic of the groups. You can guess which is the Berrys. These were with a 4X scope using a very thick short range reticle at around 35 yards. I had shot another group with the Berrys on the last trip, and it looked very similar to this one.
