I have been reloading 45 ACP for a while with Bullseye, but I want to find something that will work better with 230gr Bear Creek Mollys at the upper end.
I have tried a couple of other powder so far. W231, Unique, Blue Dot, AA#5 and AA#7. Unfortunately I haven't gotten to shoot the AA powders yet.
I am looking for a powder that fills up the case to help avoid double charges, (never had one yet, but don't want to take a chance) that gives good velocity and meters well in my Dillon 550.
So far this is what I am thinking:
W231 OK,
Unique I liked this a lot and is currently the front runner.
Blue Dot very dirty, to bad because it does well filling up the case.
AA#5 herd some good things, but doesn't fill the case real well, have
not shot yet, herd it might not meter well in a Dillon
AA#7 have not shot yet
Are there any other powders I should conceder like Power Pistol? While I will pay a little more I f I find a Powder I like, part of the reason I am reloading is to reduce costs/ increase shooting.
Uses for the load will be target practice and IDPA. I like full house loads, so no plans to download.
Another possible consideration. I will be loading a lot of 10MM soon, and if it works in both all the better! I am not real hopeful on that front. IT is just I don't want to have a bunch of half open powders lying around if I don't have to.
Thanks for the help
