(nam era) yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for I am the meanest SOB in the valley!
Damn. A lot of variation.
Thanks.
Question, do you think the 231/hp38 is a good powder for 9mm and an ok powder for 45acp or should I look to something else? I don't really have room or patience for testing 100 powders to get the ultimate accuracy, I just need reliable and reasonably accurate.

Yes. No.

Dale in these days of short supply most of us will use what we can find. I would have to use a good pistol rest too see any deference in accuracy with any of the normally used powders and even then it wouldn't be a big deference . I recently ran across a supply of IMR 700X so that's my powder of choice at the moment .

I'm using what I found. I am putting in back-orders for 16 lbs of what I want. I'm tired of fucking around.Originally Posted by FLT

WS,
See the last post in this thread for a powder equivalent chart compiled from msds sheets..
Uncle nick is someone I listen to over there.
There are 3 diffrent adi powders listed for the clays types..

Yeah, International Clays... BUT... I was trying to reduce a redundancy, not add another complication. And I read what Rumbler said... he MEANT Unique, not Universal. In the powder cabinets, it seems like the guys slinging the names are just egging us on to make "misteaks". Universal and Unique aren't much alike under strict scrutiny, but like a lot of powder names, when you are rummaging around in the back rooms of the mind... they are really more similar than it seems to me that they SHOULD be. Not that the NAMES even have to be similar for them to get mentally confuted. To ME, Unique and Bullseye tend to want to blend together in my thinking... NOT because their names are similar, but because to me they both fall in a category of "stinky old powders I don't want to use unless I really, really, have to". They have been around almost forever, so I guess I could just put them in a "been around almost forever" category, but either way so far as I'm concerned they are the same thing, like Wisconsin and Michigan.

Woops. I mistyped. It should have said "Unique".
I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.
I've used Accurate #2 and Titegroup and about to test out some Solo 1000.
Coach.
I'm getting on in years and I admit I tend to fall back on Unique and Bullseye because they've been around a long time and I am comfortable with them. I started using Titegroup on someone's recommendation and I've been happy with it (except for the temperature sensitivity) for the better part of 10 years now for my .40's.
One day when we are actually able to get powder reliably again I will look forward to experimenting with some new loadings.
