9mm Powder Advice Using Lock-N-Load

[biggun2869]

I am and have always been a 231 lover. BUT I am old so maybe there is something???

I have had a hard beating it for anything except very top velocity. In my opinion ( maybe not acceptable) for an all around poder it is great for 9mm or .45 ACP

I’m with biggun2869, seems WW 231 goes with just about everything

Anyone recommend Bullseye for 9 mm?

No… Generally too fast for 9mm. You run into peak pressure too quickly.

BE-86, Unique, WSF and CFEPistol work well for me.

To the OP:

my favorite powders for loading 9mm are:
WSF; BE-86; CFEPistol; and Unique.

CFEPistol is very dirty, but meters well; Unique doesn’t meter too well but is very forgiving; WSF meters well and is a bit cleaner than CFE but you lose some velocity; BE-86 is more ideal as it meters better than Unique.

PowerPistol is on the list to try. And Red Dot in light loads, but does NOT meter well AND is touchier than I’d like is also on the list because I have a lot of it.

Just an update from my original post.....I cleaned and reinstalled the "pistol" rotor for the lock-and-load powder dispenser and it is running smooth as silk and metering very consistently. I feel foolish missing that one line in the manual that says to use a pistol rotor, not the rifle rotor, that comes with the unit. BUT....bright side is I got excellent advise, fixed the issue, AND got some great information on different powders!! You guys are great.....Thanks again.
