Handgun Powders

FYI WW231 and HP38 are EXACTLY the same powder.

Just a different label.

Thanks...that would explain why the load data in all of my books is exactly the same for those two...

Another thumbs up for WST
Works great in 45acp and 40s&w. my brother loads 9mm with it also gets good results.

Recently I've been trying CFEPistol and it looks promising. There was a lot of it around at the Chantilly shows recently. You need to have a few options when your favorites aren't around.

You do indeed need options! I've worked with more powders in the last 2-1/2 years than I had in the previous 30. Today it's oftentimes about looking for what you want, and taking home what you can get.

Say what? You want a pound of W231?

New normal....

Winchester 231 and Unique has worked for me for years. Since it's scarce these days, I was able to find 3lbs of Titegroup down in N.C.

Anybody have experience with Titegroup? The last time I loaded .45ACP, the loads were light @ 4.9grs...using 200FMJ Ranier. I kept getting unburned powder also...any suggestions???

I've been using accurate #2 for 9 mm with 147 grain projectile. It's a good load for pin shooting and steel.
