9mm powder suggestions

[Milo]

I have been out of the reloading game for a long time. What are the current popular powders to load 9mm for range use ?

 

[t-squared]

Lottsa powders work for 9mm, but I've built my most accurate soft target loads with Alliant's Sport Pistol. Their Power Pistol is also an excellent 9mm powder, especially if you like loads a little spicier.

Sport Pistol and Action pistol are good. So is VV N320. They are similar to N320, but are less expensive and smoke a little bit more IMO.

I'm currently using W231 for light range loads. I have also used Bullseye in the past.

I like Titegroup. Use it for 380, 9mm, 45acp, and some 38 special as well. Pre King Flu it could be had for $20 per lb

During these times it is basically whatever you can find in stock. If you have a choice, Titegroup seems to be a top pick for many people.

Anyone know where powder is to be found?

Watch Hodgdon website. You can buy direct. The Hazmat fee sucks but if you order 5+ lbs at a time or helps offset the price.
Other than that type "Ammoseek powder" on Google or keep checking your local shops and the classifieds

Thank you. I’ll check it out.

I like titeggoup For 9mm. I normally use 231 for 45 but ran out. I may use titegroup for 45.

I have 4lb red dot, 4lb green dot that id probably sell. These are slower burning powders but great for 9,40,45.

I like Power Pistol especially for my 124 XTP or 125 Zero bullets. Have used Winchester 231 in the past too with good results. Picked up some ZIP powder recently but have not tried it yet.

I use TiteGroup for my pistol calibers. Always had good luck with it. There are many good powders out there though.

N320 is probably one of the cleanest. I have a bunch of hs-6 for 9mm at the moment.

Another vote for TiteGroup. Though I have been using GreenDot as of late. It's what I could find.

I am using W231 for .45 & 9mm since I have and can get plenty of it.

I just test fired my first 50 rnds I loaded last week through the 92FS. They all went bang and hit the target. Seems to burn fairly clean.

No misfires or signs of overpressure using 4.5gr under 124gr FMJs. Might try upping it a couple tenths to see what happens.

Any others recommend trying that may be better than the 231? I know there is a supply of blue dot and I think I remember seeing a little tite group too.

Sport Pistol for coated cast & range plinking.
W231/HP38 for plated, FMJ, HP
Going to try TiteGroup for FMJ, HP

I used to use PowerPistol but it was dirty and smoky, and it took a lot of powder. I use Clays and Clay Dot now - half the powder and very clean. But you have to be careful, as pressure builds rapidly with only small increases in powder.

 

[SEH0521]

I have some friends that load 9mm with Clays - It's not for me though. I've heard a few buds load with 700x but dirty as well.
