I've been using Winchester 231 for both .45 ACP and 9mm for a couple of decades. I still have some -- probably enough for my needs, but not a surplus in today's market. A friend who is just getting into reloading (starting with 9mm) decided he wanted to try Winchester 231, but neither he nor I can find any. Unfortunately, I don't feel that I have enough to give him a pound, so I'm looking for alternatives.
I let my fingers do the walking today, and found a shop on the other side of town that says they have some Winchester 244, but no W231. The Hodgdon web site lists W244 for both 9mm and .45 ACP, so it's a candidate. Has anyone used W244 in 9mm? If so, how does it perform in real life?
Better yet, has anyone used both W231 and W244? If so, how do they compare?
