    I would realy like some Power Pistol for 9mm but haven't seen any for a long time. Bullseye was good for 9mm and 45acp till I ran out. I did find some Titegroup so now it is my powder for both of these. Jim.

    I have been using 231/ HP38 for a while, but am nearly out. I have given up on getting more. I have started using Winchester WSF lately with good results. You can get a bit more velocity at lower pressures. I think I may like it more for 9mm than the 231, although the 231 is really versatile and I wish I could get more.

    I use TiteGroup for 9mm.
    147gr bullet sitting on 3.4gr.
    You can load 2000+ rounds on 1lb of powder... not bad.

    Is this a FMJ RN? Also what is your OAL with this load?

    While not IGM, I've loaded tens of thousands of 147 jhp zeros (and a few k fmj ball) w/ 3.3-3.4 TG at 1.150"-

    3.4 gets 132 PF from G19, 137 from G34, and 134 from Beretta 92.

    I load for USPSA, so bullseye accuracy isn't my goal, but it's a very accurate load in many guns. 3" groups from the glock at 25 yds, easy hits on 8" plate at 75.

    subsonic and clean through the silencer.

    Thanks Ryan. I still have the PM you sent me with the load data on the 147's. I am going to try that once I get set up again to reload.

    There are a lot of good powders for target loads. Many of them have already been mentioned. Alliant Bullseye is a good metering powder and very good loads can be produced in most handgun cartridges. As an alternative, you might consider Red Dot and American Select. Unfortunately, in these times of shortages, you might want to see what powder you can find and go from there.
