I know this has been covered before in other threads. I tried an advanced search and it was a bit undaunting. I have been loading for a bit over a year. The High Road is an awesome place with the most helpful members.
Anyway, I am looking for a new universal handgun powder. I mainly shoot .45, .40, .357, and 9mm. I have used both 2400 and 296 in a .357 Magnum. I like 296 especially. But I want a good target load that wont use as much powder. I woulld like to shoot .357 mag but as a plinking/target load, not magnum hunting level (for that I use 296 or 2400).
I tried Winchester Auto-Comp and 231. The Auto comp shot very well but was extremely DIRTY. The 231 was OK, but I was not all that impressed. I have tried Unique (dirty as well) but the recoil was not as good as Auto-Comp.
Next, Im going to try is power pistol. Anyone have any thoughts regarding how dirty it is and how well it meters in an RCBS Uniflow measure.? I just would like some input on the pros and CONS of what THR inamtes use. Thanks in advance
