Powder for 9mm & 45 ACP - Dillon 550B

[Triumph]

Have following on way:
- Dillon 550B
- Berry's plated Bullets 9mm (115Gr & 124Gr) 45ACP (230Gr)
- Primers
- WWB factory loaded brass once fired.

Now just need powder - when I can find it.

Was thinking of sticking with W231 just to keep it simple.

Good Plan?

Congrats!

HP-38 would be a cheaper plan (same exact powder as W231).

With powder being hard to find right now, green dot would work for both... Just sayin.

Green dot is a superb powder. I have been using it for years in my .38

Use any medium-fast powder for which you can find data and a supply. :|

Excellent

LlI have used the Berrys /W231 combo in my M&P 9 and find it an excellent combo.I have also used 231 in my 45 M&P, mostly with LSWCs . I like 231 & like someone said HP 38 is the same thing.In my case the W 231 was cheaper than HP 38.

I use Bullseye in both, and it works great but I shoot 200gr in the 45acp.

I have been using Unique for most of my pistol loads. Berry's and Ranier plated. 115 & 124 gn for 9mm, 180 & 165 in 40S&W, 200 & 230 gn in .45 with good results and accuracy.

I like 231...meters well through the Dillon.

9mm& .45ACP

Check sources everyday. You can wait on W231 if you choose but there are a multitude of great powders that will do just as well including many shotgun powders. Hodgdon Titegroup, universal clays, clays, red dot are all great in both the 9 & 45 along with all the ones mentioned previously. Keep an eye on Powder Valley in Kansas daily. They seem to get more than most but you have to move when you see availability.
