Everyone has their preference in powders and bullets. What should I be looking for in .45 realm of reloading. 
 

I use titegroup for 9, WAC 9major, n320 for .40 and hp38 for .38..... a lot to keep track of.

Clay Dots, Ram Shot Competition, E3, Nitro 100NF or WST. My favorite soft shooting loads are from Clay Dots, E3 and RS Comp. Clean, accurate and very soft.

As for bullets, 230 and 200's seem to be most popular. Either will get you what you want. I use ACME coated bullets or RMR plated in either weight.

I use e3 for 45 bullseye, 40sw major and minor and 9mm minor.  I have tried Sport Pistol for 9mm minor.  I cannot yet decide whether I like it better for 9 minor.  I'll try more when it is back in stock.
