I run 231/HP38 in most of my non magnum loads. 9mm, 45, 38, 357 target loads. It meters well and fills the cases nicely. I started with it several years ago and never felt the need to switch.

HP38 or W231... No need for any other non magnum pistol powder on my shelf. I used to load Unique a lot for the whole range of ctr fire pistol rds then 1 day at a gunshow I bought a full case of 10 1 lb bottles of HP-38 for a $50 bill. Yeah I like it to for 38,9,45, and 44's. Clean burning , economic to shoot and accurate. OP needs to see what's available and will cover his needs. MB

Industry standard pressure of the 9mm is 35,000 cup,...same as the .357 magnum. It functions at magnum level pressure.
You can use the faster powders in it but propellants somewhere around Blue Dot's burning rate works better.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

The new improved Unique is much cleaner than the older version. Thats been my experience as well. I was pleasantly surprised with the new Unique powder. I was so disgusted with the old stuff that I gave it away and swore I'd never buy the chidt again. Before, I would have been suggesting universal, or power pistol. Now the new Unique is a good contender as well..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

AA#5 has a very linear pressure curve. So does HS6. No surprises. BE86 is becoming one of my favorites lately. Sell that .40 S&W gun and buy some powder.
Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.

I’m gonna try Titegroup in my three autos. It’s about all I can find right now. With your post count I would think you would look at the date on a thread before posting to it. Don't you think 11 years old is a bit ripe?

Well his powder might have gone sour so he still needs advice?  Old thread, but the topic apparently isn't.

Was the question forever solved by all humans then?
