I use Titegroup because it has been reliable for me, and it is very economical. The downside is that it isn't the cleanest, and it can get a little smokey with coated bullets. To me, those are not significant issues.
I have a bunch of HP38/231 on hand for my .38SPL loads, but I need to give it a try in my 9mm. I hear that it only needs .2 to .3 more grains to achieve the same results I'm getting from TG. Quote:
But once you find a powder you like, BUY A LOT OF IT. My goal is to have three years' worth of my chosen powder on hand at any one time, so that I don't have to sweat the next time we have an ammo/reloading components panic like we did a few years back. There were periods where you couldn't find popular powders for 4-6 months at a time.

Anyone use H-Universal. I ask cause I was given a sealed, 8# container and don't really know what to use it for. I load 9mm, 38 super, 38-357, and 454Casull. Not a lot of loading data for that powder out there.

I started with Unique, which is nice and "fluffy", w/no chance of a double-charge.
However, when pushing near NATO velocities, there was unburnt powder showers, even in a 4.921″ barrel. |

In fact, 700x works very well in a variety of pistol calibers. It's pretty much all I use for pistols except for 38 Special. It works well for that too, but when you get lower than four grains it starts to meter erratically. So, I use Bullseye for that caliber.

I've been a Titegroup user since I started reloading, never had issues with it. I use it for 9mm, .380ACP, .38spl, and .44spl.
The 9mm cycles my Glock just fine, and my Uzi. Surprised to hear people have trouble with it, it's always been great for me! Also its pretty cheap, and the loads are smaller, so a pound goes a long way! |

That said, it is not position sensitive at low charge weights in spacious cases. I have used up multiple jugs of Titegroup, before switching to some even cheaper surplus powder. |

231/H38. Works great for 38, 9mm, 40sw and 45ACP. I also use it for mild 357mag. If I only had one powder for pistols it would be 231.
My favorite for 9mm is Power Pistol. You can make some flashy, hot and snappy loads with getting in to much trouble. Stay within documented loads and stay safe. |
