Anybody use this pistol powder, thoughts?
Load's currently using or have used.
Got my hands on some, but have never used it before. Thier site has some info and loads on it, but hoping to get some first hand info from members who have used it.

I have been using it in my 9mm loads. Data is pretty close to that of Unique. It meters through my Lee Disk, RCBS Uniflow & Little Dandy great, unlike Unique.

Cheers,

I just picked up 8lbs over the weekend and looking forward to trying it in 9mm,.40 and .45ACP

I've been researching it a bit and it is basically Power Pistol with a flash suppressant added. The burn rate is like Unique, but it meters better...it is supposed to be better with lighter bullets 124gr vs. 147gr, 155/165gr vs. 180gr, 185gr vs. 230gr

What do you usually use?
I'm looking to use it to replace some Titegroup that I recently picked up

Been using W231 for twenty years. Found this (8lbs) for a decent price and decided to give it a shot. I reload 9-40-45, first thing I noticed on thier site is it takes roughly a grain or more then the W231. But they where also fast moving rounds, I'll knock it down a little and work up a good load for each.
Usually load 124g bullets for 9mm, 165 for 40 and either 200 or 230 for .45.
