VVN350 - Clean, consistent and gives best power for that weight of bullet. Just be very careful on seating depth. Loading is available on their website. I also like N330 and N340. I only have N340 at the moment.

I use Bullseye a little heavy because I load over-long to fit my P95.

I've used Bullseye, W231 and True Blue with varying degrees of success with jacketed, cast and platted. I see Power Pistol in loading data but have never tried it. Looking through the "Load Data" site it appears that almost any "pistol" powder has been tried.

I have W231 and power pistol among others. I've not opened the power pistol. I might have five cans of it. 9mm is pretty easy IMO.

I use BE-86, however it appears to me that it is more consistent when loaded near max. 115 gr Berry's plated with 6 grains, max listed is 6.3 on Alliant's website. For lighter loads, I use Bullseye and HP-38/W231.

Yeah it does! I'll swear that there is always more in the jug each time I pick it up that when I last used it.EdgeOfEden wrote:HP-38. Goes a long way.
