    Default 9mm powders?

    So, I've been using the same powder for my 9mm loads for probably the last twenty to twenty-five years or so.

    I was just curious what powders some of you guys prefer for the 9mm.

    Thanks.

    My go to powder for 9mm has been win231, but I don't shoot much 9mm anymore and haven't loaded a batch in over 5 years...following this thread.

    It's been quite a few years since I've loaded for it as well. Was going to venture out and get some powder and was curious what other people were using these days before I just picked up my old standby.

    Silhouette by western powders. Meters well, very low smoke, no flash.

    I was using 231 and was told to try silhouette and its great. 231 was very smokey.

    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.

    I'm still a beginner so I use unique. I choose to start with it because it's just about impossible to accidentally double charge a round with.

    Alliant Power Pistol , Hodgdon HS6 (which is Winchester 540 Ball) the latter because I found a bunch of it at a gun show at half price a few years ago.

    TiteGroup (4.1 gr) for 115& 124. it's a little power in the case for a good load. EASY to double charge if you don't pay attention Unique for my 147 gr suppressed rounds.

    Alliant BE-86 is what you seek. Silhouette is my 2nd favorite.
