On a scale from 1 to 10, how good is Alliant PROMO Powder? Will it work if I use it to reload 115 grain target practice ammo for my 9mm glock 17/gen 4 and my new 9mm JRCarbine? I inherited 8 pounds of this powder, never used it before. Thanks!
I was talking about the powder, not the hard times we are all going through. I was only trying to relay how I felt about the powder in case he had another choice for the 9mm and use Promo in the .38 Spl, 45 Auto and 45 Colt.ArchAngel and Mule, some of us are blessed with having more usable powders on hand than Promo.
If other powders were available along with Promo for purchase, I would gladly recommend better metering and cleaner burning powders. But if Promo was the only available powder to load 9mm/40S&W along with .38Spl/45ACP/45Colt, I would not hesitate to use it.
Remember, not many reloaders are sitting on 16 lbs of W231/HP-38 under their bench.
I have lent out a bunch of powder too but not quite 25 lbs. In reality I have only 2X 4lb jugs of W231 and 2.5 lbs of HP-38 in single lb bottles so it's only a little over 10 lbs left. (I did a lot of shooting over this summer) I did at one point have 16 lbs but did use a bunch and I lent out 2 lbs too.You are a tease! I can almost hear some reloaders say "What! ... 12 pounds of HP-38? ... Dang ... Can you share some?"

Yes, I have shared A LOT of my powders, including W231/HP-38, with other reloaders in need the past few years (around 25 lbs ... all PIF).
