Background first. I've been handloading since the late 80's, mostly 5.56x45, 7.62x51, 7mm BR and 7mm Mag. Now it is time to venture into pistol territory. My wife is giving me die sets and bullets for 9mm, .38 Special and .357 Mag.
As we are all aware of the component famine, I grabbed the first three powders that were available and were adequate for the calibers. Not telling you how much that spent on them.
Accurate Powder - No.9
3N38 Vihtavuori Powder
Alliant Powder - Green Dot
So, did I waste my money or are these decent? There is loading data for all three calibers from all three manufacturers. Advice, suggestions, load data, ridicule and sacrificial goats are welcome.
