147's over 30yrds drop pretty good over 115/124's. I'm guessing the 165's will be a lot worse. 25 yrds and in should be nice on decent size steel.... The thump should be pretty fun though

I made up 60 rounds, 20 with W231, 20 with Unique, and 20 with Titegroup. Bullets are 147gr LFP from Badman Bullets. Testing was done indoors at Sharpshooters, targets were at 7 yards. Groups with Titegroup were better than the other two powders, same with muzzle blast. It looks like I'll be using Titegroup for 9mm, W231 for .45 ACP, and Unique with .40 S&W. I have enough powder to last me through the year, but I believe I'll be buying four pounds of each as I find them. Thanks for all of your responses.
ETA With W231 and Unique, shots were 2" low at 7 yards. Titegroup was noticeably higher.

Given a steel power factor floor of 125, a two inches high at 25 yards would give a center hold close in and just below center hold from about 20 yards out to 35 yards. On the 18"x24" steel plate used in the Outer Limits stage, that 35 yard shot would be easily achieved with a good center hold.
I worked this load up to shoot at GSSF. It shoots a 3/4" group with my Glock 34 at 15 yards.

147gr Berry's RN over 3.3gr Titegroup @ 1.160" shoots to point of aim in all of my 9mm pistols. I worked up to that recipe years ago and have been very happy with it.
When ya going back to comp.. ? Lol

When I find the motivation. I hate driving on my day off. It's only like 40 min to Sanners, but, did I mention...I despise driving. Not even sure I'm going to renew. I never get down there.

I drive all day long at my job. Last thing I want to do is drive when I'm off. Maybe you can swing by and pick a brotha up next time?
I still owe you a Mexican lunch/dinner anyway from a friendly wager, several years ago.
