9mm powder suggestions

[gregkl]

A few years ago it seemed like Titegroup and/or W231 was the go to powder. Then Sport and Power Pistol came into the spotlight.

Like others have said there are plenty of good powders out there. I bought a bunch of W231 and Titegroup several years ago so I have not tried anything else. Either one works well for me. Currently I'm using my Titegroup since I have the most of that flavor.

I've always used titegroup. Theres not a pistol caliber I have reloaded yet that I couldnt find a titegroup recipe for. I know theres lots of other options out there and probably better ones for each caliber/gun combo but I'm not patient enough to experiment to that level. I'm just reloading to throw lead at paper targets and titegroup fits my bill.

9mm has a ton of powders that can be used. I have used Bullseye, Unique, Power Pistol, CFE Pistol, American Select, Green Dot, BE 86 - what was available when I was looking.
Whatever pistol powder u can find, most of them, u should be able to find a load that goes bang for 9mm.

Thanks to all for your suggestions.
What should I expect to pay for powder ?

Before the chaos: $20 to $25 a pound. Now, depending on how the dealer is charging. I've bought for $30 otd in the last few months, but have seen up to $100 a pound (ouch).

I have used HP-38 for most of my pistol loads, but do use Titegroup some as well.
