Favorite Powder for pistol?

[JO JO]

9mm & 40 s&w HS-6 has done very well for me not sure about 45

 

[rodinal220]

Win231/HP-38

 

[Hondo 60]

Unique, Universal, Accurate #5, Tite Group
Any of em should work well in 9mm & 45acp

For 45 ACP with 230 FMJ RN, I've used either W231 or HP-38 without trouble.

Sorry guys, I meant to be more specific and wanted suggestions for LEAD CAST BULLETS for 9mm (115gr RN) and 45acp (230gr RN).

I will probably use UNIQUE, but wanted something a little cleaner to offset the dirtiness of the lead. Considering WSF or 231.

Yup, W231/HP-38 is what you're looking for. It works very well in both the 9mm and 45 Auto especially with lead bullets.

thanks everyone...

Unique for just about everything except .44mag, for which I use H110.

I always use a bulky powder so there is no possibility of double-charges.

But I should take a look at Universal, Power Pistol, and AA#5.

Unique or bullseye for most, h110 for the magnums.

I use Clays for .45 ACP, and W231/HP-38 for 9MM, but have been using Titegroup also.

 

[dirtengineer]

231, although I have been flirting with Power Pistol lately, albeit for jacketed boolits.

I shoot a lot of lead in Steel Challenge. I use a .40 with a high-cap mag, and still use my M1911, also.
I buy Green Dot, because I could use it in a shotgun for Trap, so I can buy it in 12# containers. I also have several 12ers of 700X....That adds up to quite a bit of ammo!
Have fun,
Gene

I have used more Unique than anything else for handguns. Titegroup, 231 and 2400 are some others that I have used with good results.

2400 only in the 44 mag.

Bullseye and Unique, my most two favorite powders.
But, starting to use more TrailBoss in my revolvers
