What powder to use for 9mm cast bullets

+1 concerning Red Dot. I'm guessing that this has already been said, but leading is usually a function of the velocity with which the lead projectile travels down the barrel, and the projectile's hardness.

If I can keep the velocities near or under 1100 f/s, I seem to get no major leading problems with any powder, though some powders burn more cleanly than others at the pressures required.
 
I really SHOULD refrain from responding when there's "too much blood in my caffeine", and my reading comprehension is low. Of the powders you mention, I'D want to use Unique or 231 for pushing lead. Save the Hs-6 for pushing jacketed bullets hard.
 
I've loaded a lot of lead 9mm using Titegroup. I'm not a lead bullet conni-sewer. I just want them to hit an 8" plate @ 10-15 yards w/o plugging the bore with lead and gunk.
 
Conni-sewers

Mobuck, y'gotta watch those conni-sewers...

In the SEWER they'll live,
In the SEWER they'll die,
And when they are found,
They're ruled a SEWER-cide!
