Ray_Z Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Curious as to what you use to load 9mm minor. I've used solo 1000 for a lot of years with good results. Now that I'm almost out and can't find it, I' looking for a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken6PPC Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) Titegroup is what I use. It is a little faster than Solo 1000. Or, if you prefer to continue using Solo 1000: https://www.grafs.com/catalog/product/productId/193 Whoops, it seems Grafs is out of stock too...

Beef15 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Reddot with 155s takes very little, but bulky for ease of viewing, fairly clean Titegroup or Bullseye with 147s, meter well, little dirty Bullseye with 133s, probably my most accurate to date I'd still like to mess with American Select, E3, Cleanshot and others, so many choices.

B_RAD Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Nobel Sport Prima V is the new hotness. It's good. I've shot 6.6 lbs and have no complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Alliant American Select is the functional equivalent to Solo 1000. What one does, the other does as well. I have about 5 lbs. of Solo 1000 left, only because I stopped using it for shotshells and hoarded it for 45 ACP Major loads. Am Sel is hard to find in 8 lb jugs, but it is available. Try a 1 lb and see what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregJ Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Titegroup is most poplar. I use E3 and like it. You might look at this post for more options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I have used WW231 (also called HP38) for decades - very nice powder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelslinger86 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 VV-N320 for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickman301 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Titegroup is good. Meters pretty well. Clays shoots softer but meters like dog poo. But, I actually like Clays over Titegroup because it shoots noticebly softer. Both are pretty accurate with 147gr RN plated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4n2t0 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) - WSF - WST (new load for me but I already love it) - Titegroup All three are accurate and meter well but WST seems to be far cleaner than the other two powders (147gr projectile).

TrackCage Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Seem like a lot of best powder threads lately. Bottom line is there are lots of good choices and each camp has their favorites. I've been a long time titegroup user for my competition loads. Agree that Prima V appears to be the new hotness. Just ordered a batch myself with the Grafs promo running, but have not actually loaded any up to give first hand experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I use TiteGroup, love Bullseye for its accuracy, and VV 3N37. Have tried AutoComp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RePete Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Yup. Look at VV reload data. http://www.vihtavuori.com/en/reloading-data/handgun-reloading/9-mm-luger.html Edited August 11, 2017 by RePete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can. But I don't think it is ideal for Minor. Too slow burning. You have to use more powder, and still pressures will be low. Quite likely unburnt powder coming out of the barrel.

RePete Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Not seeing signs of unburned powder. Does make minor and a soft shooting load with 147's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just passed Chrono with it at the Sanners Lake sectional on Friday: 3.4 grains of Solo 1000 under a Precision or Ibeji 147 grn coated bullet @ 1.120" (CZ SP-01). 875fps. With Solo 100 gone, it looks as if I will have to switch to the 3 lbs or so of the old V V N-318 I bought years ago, then switch back to N-310 (which ought to be downright frightening at that short OAL).

Since this thread is still alive and I've now had the chance to try the Prima V I ordered, let me tell you... it's great. Shoots softer than titegroup and uses basically the same weight charge. Throw in that it was cheaper and free hazmat promo when I bought it... no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I'm almost out and can't find it, I' looking for a replacement. I've switched to ramshot competition I believe that is what is replacing solo 1000.
