ZombieHunter Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Been using Clays for 9 minor loads. Also fun for .45. Very soft and very clean. Just a pain to get anymore right now. Definitely this. Clays is awesome. You can also use ClayDot .. identical results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a matt Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I think any powders that works for 9mm,40s&w & 45 are going to be tuff to find. Been that way for a while here in the states. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v1911 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Been using Clays for 9 minor loads. Also fun for .45. Very soft and very clean. Just a pain to get anymore right now. Definitely this. Clays is awesome. You can also use ClayDot .. identical results. Good to hear. Just picked up some ClayDot a week ago. Also picked up a few pounds of Ramshot Comp'. Anyone with experience care to comment how it compares to Clays? Specifically in 9mm minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plinker625 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Hodgdon does not produce powder. They package powder made by ADI in Australia under the Hodgdon Label, Most of IMR powders are produced by General Dynamics in Canada. Some production runs of 4227 are made by ADI. General Dynamics makes the Win labeled powders and the ball powders for Hodgdon labeled products. This is made in St Marks FL. Western Powders are sourced from Europe and St Marks Alliant makes most their powders, but the Reloder series are imported from Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic2377 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Bullseye and True Blue, for now. There are the powders one chooses when you start pistol reloading during the great gun rush of 2013, AKA, whatever you can get your hands on. But, they seem to work great! BE with the 115-125 gr bullets, True Blue with the 147 gr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02doooce Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I've loaded over 5K of 9mm minor on my SDB using WST. I typically load using 124gr/125gr bear creek, xtreme and montana gold bullets WST shoots nice and soft (I load to a PF of 130-135) recoil is minimal and there is not a lot of smoke.

blaster113 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Solo 1000 works great with 147 grain moly bullets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankenhole Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I have used Power Pistol, Blue Dot, and 800-X for 9mm. So far I am a fan of Blue Dot the most. Alliant and IMR are the easiest to find in my area for various calibers. I keep a wishlist of powders to look for when I am out and about that I haven't tried yet. #2, HS-6, HP-38, N320, 231, and WST are the ones I want to find the most.

littletoe Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 AA#7 is the most accurate 9mm powder i could find. fills the case nicely and i loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Solo 1000 for minor. Works great in .45 ACP too - and also in 40major. Supposedly it varies from batch to batch (i.e. - re-chrono whenever you buy a new jug). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a matt Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Keep an eye on your brass if you are running Solo 1000 when or if you are working up to major in 40 S&W. I got close to major power but then my primers started flattening out about 160 PF with 180 gr bullets. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedQuest Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I am really likiing Alliant E3. Only been reloading since June, but the E3 is very soft, relatively inexpensive, and my current load is only 3.4 gr. making about 950-980 fps, so it's VERY light on the powder as well meaning more rounds per pound.
