Trying Titegroup -- need recipe

[TheXracer]

Did some test loads for 9mm with Titegroup powder and these are the averages from the chrony. Bullets were Rainier 115 gn HP's 1.125" col. Grouping got tighter the faster it went. This was shot from a Star 30M 4" barrel, target was set at 10 yards out.

4.2 gn = 1064 fps
4.3 gn = 1071.4 fps
4.4 gn = 1095 fps
4.5 gn = 1106.2 fps

I have been using Titegroup for mostly 45 Acp round. Of the powders that I use, (Bullseye, Power Pistol, Win WST and Titegroup), I like how Titegroup. Not too dirty for cleanup. (Wst is a little cleaner). I noticed my grouping was getting tighter at 4.4 and 4.5 gn. I didn't measure the groups so I can only guess around 2" at 10 yrds. This weekends focus was mainly on chrony to see what load would make 125 power factor for IDPA. The 4.4 gn made power factor. I plan on make some more rounds moving up in charge to 4.8 or a tad higher. I'll make some more at 4.4 and 4.5 to check on grouping differences. Hopefully, I can get back out the range next weekend, but it will depend on the weather. Supposed to get hit with that white stuff this this week..

R.X. thank you for your useful info.! I got stuck on W/231 for my goto W/124g. EXTRM. H.P. and wanted to try a different powder. This day and age I don't want to get to powder dependent!

Hodgdon's must have just released a crap load of Titegroup. I was in my LGS today and they were unloading 5 cases of it. That's the most (first) I''ve seen in over a year.

I was in a gun store in the Triad and they had a whole shelf full of Titegroup. I bought 2 more bottles of it.
