North Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hello, Help me out with picking a powder for both 9mm minor for production in a CZ75B and for L-10/SS for a Springfield 1911. 125 grain lead for 9mm and 230 grn lead for 45ACP I currently load for the 1911 with red-dot and 230 grain lead. I looking to get into production and just becouse I'm lazy and cheap would like to use the same powder for both calibers. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 red dot will work. clays will be cleaner in both the 45 and the 9mm...9mm minor loads will be right on the edge of the power factor with max load of CLAYS and a 125 grain lead bullet. on a classical note, bullseye works good for these two applications.

revchuck Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 My CZ-75B loves Titegroup, and it works well for .45 ACP lead bullets too. There are a bunch of other powders that can work well in these cartridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Mink Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Another vote for Clays. I used Titegroup until I realized how dirty it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hostetter Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I use either 231 or PB for both.................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 VV N320 is great for both calibers. Powder puffs in 9mm and Major .45 loads that feel like minor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I would first vote for W231 for both. Extremely accurate in 9x19 plus you can run it down to 100PF and it will run a properly sprung gun all day. It is perennial favorite in .45acp as well. CLAYS is incredible in .45acp, but not worth a crap in 9x19 with lead bullets, and you are getting close on pressure with jacketed bullets at minor(esp. heavier bullets). I would have to say a close second is Titegroup and VV320. They are about the same burn and feel wise, and accurate as well, but VV320 is more expensive. Depends on what you want. I dont worry about the price of the powder if I find a load that is incredibly accurate in my gun, so get some and try them all. We all have half empty bottles of powder underneath our benches....

SRT Driver Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 North, Good timing!! I just worked up a 9mm Reddot load..since I have a crap load not doing anything. FYI, it's the old formula - about 12 years old. The new formula is supposed to be cleaner. But this load is really clean. It fills a lot of the case which is good. The SD reflects that. 124 Berry plated FP 4.2 gr Reddot WSP OAL = 1.09 Av = 1080 fps (134 pf) SD = 7 Accuracy with stock G34 bbl - EXCELLENT!!!!! 2 - 2.5" freestyle at 25 yrds I've used N320 and this load feels the same or a little softer. Tightgroup and N330 are options too. N330 barks and TG is dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
