I use a different powder for each bullet weight in a specific caliber. For instance, my pet loads in in 9mm consist of : Clay Dot in 115gn, Red Dot in 124gn, and TiteWad in 147gn. Or for 45 it’s Clay Dot in 185, AutoComp in 200, and Universal in 230. Some non-conventional powders, I’m aware. But in the roughly two dozen handguns that have come and gone in the last decade, these have been tried and true for me. It’s the same way with other handgun calibers (I’m a handgun nut). Rifle I’m really not as versed in, I pick a weight and stick with it for the most part.
This isn’t a serious discussion by any means, but I’m curious if anyone else is as persnickety as I am regarding exact powders for bullet weights in each caliber.
Oddly enough the most universally successful powder across all HG platforms has been Alliant Clay Dot, so if I had to pick one, well you know. AutoComp is another but it’s only best in one application for me and merely works boringly in all the others. I’ve found almost nobody uses TiteWAD in HG but with some careful work ups it has been phenomenal for me in select weights in 380, 9, 40, and 45.
I aim for low recoil and accuracy both. Where those two lines diverge is where I land.
Just geeking out here. Talk away!
