4.6 gr Titegroup 4.0 gr Clays 200 gr SWC Bear Creek Both Loaded at 1.235 (My chamber is a tad short) Both are excellent out of my 1911s

9mm-Titegroup .40 .45 - Titegroup and Clays .38 Special A few years ago when everything was hard to find I also worked up a few loads with Universal and CFE Pistol. CFE Pistol worked well in 9mm and I found a nice medium load in .357 Magnum load with it.

Have you tried CFE Pistol maybe? Not quite as slow as H110 or 2400 but may give you the velocity you are looking for.

Titewad would be up there. my charge weights with Clays have been fairly low as well.

I had to use 4.4gr CFE Pistol to make PF in a CZ 75, OAL was 1.060 Bear Creek 125 gr Moly coated bullets.

I would hope not, personally I pull them down.

I was pulling some 45 rounds that I found at the range and ran into this: The powder was all yellow and corroded looking, anyone run into this? This is the reason I pull down range finds, the round looked fine from the outside but never know whats inside.

Where did you see that on Powder valley? I bought 5K S&B Small Pistol and a couple K Small Rifle locally about 6 months ago. This would make sense though as my LGS had a bunch of them and now all they have is Large Rifle on the shelves. I have been buying Fiochhi Small Pistol lately, another LGS has them for 25.99 per 1500.

I had to go to 1.060 using 125 gr RN Bear Creeks with a CZ75. Short bullet and short chamber.

I did not but I saw it when I went back and looked at the site again just now. They also had a combo pack that looked interesting. https://ballistictools.com/store/reloading-products/case-and-ammunition-gauges/three-gage-pack

I just ordered one of these yesterday, looks like it will be really handy. Looking forward to trying it out!

Glad to hear they worked out, I have shot a bunch through a CZ 75 too and they run great.

Just curious - Why the powder switch? I just started to reload this year and wanted to go with Tite Group from the start but CFE was what was available locally since it always seemed Tite Group was out of stock. Now it seems to be the opposite and I can get the Tite Group. Another reason Is I can usually buy Tite group for about $4 - $5 less than CFE per pound. I found them same thing. I picked up 4-5 pounds of CFE Pistol a few years ago when that's all I could find. Now that Titegroup is available again I've been running that. Haven't seen too much CFE Pistol, at least not locally.

I haven't used any of those powders but I like faster powders in 38 Special like Titegroup and Clays. With the powders you listed I would try Bullseye, 231, and Unique in that order. I bet you can find some nice shooting loads with Bullseye. http://www.alliantpowder.com/reloaders/Powder.aspx?powderid=1

I like Win, Fed, Speer, PMC, RP for match loads. All my Winchester is mostly a little older brass, have heard some QC problems with newer Winchester brass but haven't run into any problems myself. All the foreign stuff goes into my practice or plinking loads, CBC, PPU, Fiocchi, etc. Scrap any AMERC, LY, Ammoload and IMT brass. I'm about to the point of scrapping Tula brass as well, too many case gauge failures and one of those locked up my friends Glock 19 tight.
