The only powder it has responded very well to so far is Trail Boss, and the trajectory with that load is like a fuggin rainbow for shooting 100yd plates. It shoots 244 Win and Nitro 100NF ok, but there are some pressure signs I'm not liking with 244, and the Nitro100 velocity is about identical to the TB loads.

All the other powders I had on hand shot like garbage in it... definitely the pickiest 45 Colt I've owned.

Tight Group does very well in my Marlin with 250 gr cast. I haven't shot it at 100 but it shoots clover leaves at 75 yards. If that don't work for you try 9 grains of Herco.

It didn't end up liking Titegroup, but I finally got the kind of groups I was looking for out of it at good velocities with CFE Pistol and BE-86.

Universal is a close 2nd to Unique

Although I burn Tite Group in many cartridges..from 9 mm to 45 Colt

Insensitive powder position is key factor with Tite Group

I use in both 9mm and 38's. Almost out. Gunsmith has been recommending 4759 as a substitute. A few tenths more for same velocity but much, much cleaner. If I can find it I'm goint to try it.

Unique seems to be unobtanium. Anyone know where a few pounds can be found?

Please PM me if you have any suggestions.

Thanks

Powder Valley gets it now and then. They had some for a short time on Thursday or Friday.
