I have decided that I don't like titegroup for 38 special and 357mag.
The charge is just to small in the case and I felt that for the first time, the risk of double charging was to high for visual inspection. I finally broke down and put a powder checker die in my Pro2000. Unfortunately that means the Redding Profile crimp die had to go. That ticked me off that I have to now crimp and seat in one step. (Yes I am aware that some put the powder dispensor in primer seat location and use the powder dispensor as an expander die).
The second one I have decided I don't like is Universal Clays in 380 auto, 38 special and 40s&w.
Universal Clays just does not seem to give me as consistent results as good old dirty Unique. This seems particularly true in 38 special and 380 auto.
Finally, I have sort of given up on AA2Improved in 45acp.
231 and Bullseye always seem to be more accurate. I will be glad when I use it up the 45acp rounds I have made with it. Only 380 auto for AA2 improved for me.
So what are your powders that just don't "turn your crank" and why?
