If the N350 will work for jacketed, it can't hurt to try it with lead. Personally, if I was in your situation I would try anything that might let me shoot. Sure some powders work better than others, but I would use practically anything that would work, if it was all I could get. Mike My main question would be how smoky and dirty could it be. I will try it when I have some time and post the results. I guess I'm the first one to try it huh? Thank you for your reply.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Hello. I have n350 that is a slower burning powder. I have never tried it with lead bullets before, only with fmj. I heard that titegroup is not the best option for lead since it smokes like a Diesel. I have heard great reviews about wst and n320, have not heard much about solo 1000. Now the only issue is finding out where to get it. I have not opened the PP 4lb I have, in case I find someone who would be interested in purchasing it. I guess I will try it since it is just collecting dust. Perhaps change to another powder in four years when things will be more calm. The big muzzle blast/fireball, noise and recoil you described, makes me not want to use it for ipsc. Thank you for the advice and your time. It is appreciated.

I will write it down for when I use fmj loads. Thank you for the advice and interest

I do have a chrony. Will order some .40 LFP from Bear creek and try them out. My Lyman shows 5.7gr of PP with a 10 to 1 alloy @ 180gr will give me 952 f/s, which I would not mind using to start since I need 916 f/s. My question is would this powder be something one would try for IPSC? I also have 231 and N350 that I use for SS and open respectively. When is this shortage going to end? Thanks for the advice and interest.

I have not purchased any since there are none available. I have been loyal to Bear creek with my .45 since it gave me excellent results. I will try their 180 GR LFP as many have suggested. Thank you for the interest.

Fingers crossed. Either I find a load that works or I'll try to sell it here. I have the dated receipt of when I purchased it. Thank you.

Thanks Mark, I am going to use the Clays for my wifes 9mm minor loads. I use range brass so I never know if I have a marginal case in the mix. I will probably use Longshot and Titegroup for my .40. Hello I was never able to meet minor with clays and my 92fs. I might have if I had exceeded the recommended pressures by Hodgdon. I did not since 92fs do not have a fully supported chamber. Clays works great with my .45. Thank you.

Hello Forgive me in advance if my searching abilities on this forum have not met your expectations. I have searched in this forum for reloading data/advice and tips when using Power Pistol for .40 S&W lead with no significant results. I am very experienced in reloading 9mm and .45 and have had great results with my loads. While shopping, all I could find at the reloading store was four pounds of P.P. and decided to buy it since it was all they had left and because there is a loading (very vague) data in the Alliant catalog for .40S&W. Has anybody experienced with this type of powder before? I have an STI Edge and have not yet reloaded any ammo in this caliber before. Considering I would like to meet major power factor for USPSA. Any advice on what could I use if Power Pistol is not considered a good powder for limited? Thank you.
