45 powder?

[lincoln45]

looking to replace Unique as the powder of choice for 45APC & 9MM HODGDON TITEGROUP is available,,,, thoughts?

Titegroup is what I use in .45 auto and it works quite well for me.
I've tried it with 9mm just a little so experience is limited there.

W231 comes to mind as good all around powder. WST and WSF should also fill the role for both well.

Tightgroup works fine in 40 cal for me, but it is dense and it is hard to see the powder in the case, especially with light loads. I have not tried it in 9 or 45, and I don't plan to buy it again.

231/hp38 is my favorite and red dot also works well in 45, but I get some unburned powder left on my arms (old powder that my dad or grandfather originally purchased). Both of these powders are more bulky and easier to keep an eye on when it comes to visually verifying the powder charge.

Win231 or HP-38 are excellent and they are the same powder.

I used Bullseye and Unique for many years for 45 and 9mm, then replaced them with WST and AA-5. When I added a 10mm I added AA-7 and 800x for 40.

Now I am using WST and WSF, 800x and some others.

A newer powder like BE-86 would do a fair job as all-around, but WST and WSF are good powders to have a jug of on hand.

My favorite is W231..so much so that I got 3 kegs a while back when it was scarce but available...I shoot it in my 38 specials as well..just a very predictable powder that plays nice in my new Lee Autodrum measure and burns nice and clean as long as I don't underload it..

I use Win 231 for 38, 9 and 45. I like that it meters good and burns clean.

Bullseye a little goes a long way.

Why are you wanting to change? Unique and Bullseye are great powders. I used Win 231 when I couldn't get the others and had good results.

I use Alliant BE-86 powder in my 9mm and 45acp. I like that is has a low flash inhibitor. No much muzzle flash at all. Give it a try.

I also have W231/HP-38 as a backup.

I use hp 38 , but it is almost gone . I will be trying CFE pistol when it's gone .

W231 for full power loads, Titewad for super clean low power loads.

Probably because it's a dirty powder.

I like unique and bullseye use them both and don't care about how dirty it is.

You still have to clean your guns... you clean them, you don't clean them a little, you clean them till they're clean.

Not to mention just about impossible to find.
