if you reload LEAD CAST bullets, i like using IMR Trail Boss because the powder is sooo dense it prevents you from double charging and it's also easy to measure and doesn't stick the walls of the trickler.
but you should only use LEAD CAST bullets only! i use it for loading .45 ACP.

I use Ramshot (true blue) for .40,.45,9mm,5.7x28 it is a fine ball powder and meters awesome. Accuracy is excellent and is not very dirty, I was glad to find 1 powder that fit the bill for my pistol reloads. Try it outComment

Universal Clays. Very consistent results, low muzzle flash, and meters very well.Darren

Titegroup is pretty awsome, if i dont say myself. it meters pretty darn well. plus they are a low charge load so you can get more rounds per lb! for residue, i have noticed that the cases are a little more dirtier then running 231, but noting a little hoppes #9 cant fix!

Unique. I have said this before 100 times. you can pretty much load any sidearm caliber with either Unique or 2400.
I know alot of old timers, Including my Dad and my Uncle Joe who only have/had these 2 powders on their shelves.
