david8989 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Going to be purchasing 9mm 115gr RN coated acme bullets for the first time and I was curious what powder yall have been using for them? I've been using CFE pistol on plated projo's for a while but I'm trying to get my cost per round down. Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) The cost of powder is The Least Important of all the components. Tough to save any significant amount by changing powders. Get the best powder you like - it won't cost much more/box. Edited December 1, 2015 by Hi-Power Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Unless you are trying to make major PF titegroup works well with pretty much all things 9mm, is cheap, usually available, and uses low charge weights. It easily down loads for super bunny fart loads but works well for decent velocity too. As a bonus, I usually get good accuracy with light loads as well as higher power loads.

david8989 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't very clear. I'm switching bullets to save the money. Just looking for powder suggestions. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruleyoutoo1911 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Another vote for Titegroup. Cheap, usually available, works well with low charge weights. I use it in several calibers, Titegroup is pretty much my go to pistol powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david8989 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Sounds like titegroup is the consensus of the group. I will pick some up and give it a shot. Gonna try the CFE pistol as well to compare, love the way it meters through my 550B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruleyoutoo1911 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I did buy several pounds of CFE Pistol during the shortage, it was all I could find locally. Worked up a pretty good 9mm Load with it, 125 gr. moly coated RN using 4.4 grains of CFE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david8989 Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 That's good to hear that the CFE pistol will work if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
