    What I 'Read' into this...

    Where have you been able to find powder suitable for handgun reloads.

    From this + your other posts, it seems that you are new into reloading??

    The previous post are correct-TightGroup is very good handgun powder-BUT-It is NOT the powder for the reloader with little knowledge.

    Tightgroup is VERY easy to double charge.

    If you are new to handgun reloading, I would suggest that you start with: Unique, PowerPistol, HS-6, HP-38, or any other powder that can not be double charged as easy.

    YMMV that's just my 2 cents...Bill.

    You might check Fields Outdoor Adventures, in Rushville.
    I picked up a case of Unique last fall for a very good price.

    The atturbury shooting range. They store some at the rifle/pistol range and some at the Shotgun range, so make sure you ask what they have. And make sure you know every possible powder that could work for your application, these hard times may call for some creativity.

    What are you loading up? This is a good place to ask specific questions concerning better than other powders for each caliber due to limited availability most of the time.

    I have about 3 lbs of Tite Group from my collection to get started. Yah, went a bit overboard when I could find it. It goes boom...but man, you could more than double charge most cases with it. I am very careful. I bet in a .357 case you could triple or quadruple charge it.
