You're dancing all around it. Aren't you?
I found that #9 and 2400 meet my needs in every way. I have 2 pounds of SW heavy pistol waiting on me to finish my last pound of #9 after I helped out a friend with my third pound. The only reason I'm not recommending the SW HEAVY PISTOL is I haven't used it. At 29.99 it's at least 5 dollars cheaper than any other option. I will test the crap out of it then if good recommending it based on savings. If ramshot had something between true blue and enforcer I'd be trying that as well.... I find true blue and Silhouette very close and prefer Silhouette.
That’s kinda where No.7 and Blue Dot are sitting. Herco is a good general purpose powder in that range, too. I played with it back before Hercules was sold to Alliant as a replacement for Unique. Decided it wouldn’t do for my needs - Marlin 94 and 4-5/8” RBH hunting deer and hogs at close range in the swamps - and decided Blue Dot, IMR 4227 and 2400 were more worthwhile. Then again, I know lots of folks who swear by Herco so you might investigate it when you have time.
Your 2400 will nip it's heels.
We had an entire thread on that lunacy. Let's not start it again please.
