9mm powder

[DOODS]

Is Viht expensive? It's all about the resolution through which you look at it. Sure, it's not THAT much more expensive per round, but I don't buy powder by the round. I buy by the pound, typically 16-24 pounds at a time, and when I can buy 24 pounds of Bullseye for $378 OR I can buy 24 pounds of N320 for $660, I'm buying the Bullseye. It's not even a question. And that's IF all else is equal, which it is not. I find Bullseye to outperform N320 in the area I care most about: accuracy. N320 is inarguably very good powder, but I have not found it to be any better than a number of other very good powders that are significantly less expensive.

As for Titegroup, it's all right. I've loaded a lot of it. It's good. Not great.

The most accurate loads I've produced in 9mm with faster burning "soft-shooting" powders have been with Bullseye and America Select. I love them both.

I'm a big fan of VihtaVuori powders. Once I tried them, I never went back.

For minor - N320

For major - N350

For Major, you might also consider 3N37 and 3N38. Depends on your bullet and comp.

3N37 and 350 are basically the same, other than cut. From what I know,they are the same formula, 3N37 is just finer for rim fire applications.

According to Vihtavuori data, they are very close. Some of their loads show slightly larger loads of 3N37,by weight, for near identical velocities. 3N37 is a little heavier for a given volume.

All the N300 powders from N310 through 3N37 and N350 have the same energy content. They are in all likelihood the same compound with burn rate controlled by particle size, shape, and surface area to mass ratio.
