What are you shooting this out of ?

What are you trying to make ? Plinking rounds?

Did you not like the first thread you started here?

The better question is what powder can you find right now! Once you have a suitable powder you can work up your load. I have tried Titegroup, Unique and AA #5.

I always load the min recommended from a manual and work down. I am just looking for a plinking round that is still accurate and I can have fun with. Also less powder keeps the cost down a touch!

They all have worked and they all have there lil quirks. For Plinking I am really digging the AA #5 5.5gr with 165 RNFP extreme projectiles.

The Titegroup is also good but very snappy it felt like.

Unique was my least favorite just because of the metering issues but its probably the most universal of them all

I'm shooting a glock 22, and rounding up resources now to start reloading, I will mostly be target shooting and starting IDPA matches up @ the Ukiah gun club

As pointed out above, load what you can FIND!

Well I definitely don't use too much. like I said i usually start at the min and go down from that. I load 4gr titegroup on a 165 extreme. shoots nice just a little more snappy to me than the AA#5
