If you drive down to pick it up, I've got 9/10 of a pound of Win231 you can trade for. Quote from: Bishop112 on December 14, 2013, 09:37:09 PM -Thanks for the great info here everyone! You guys are awesome definitely one of the top notch forums on the web. With that shopping list, it might be better for you to say what you can find locally. It's VERY popular and reloaders have been out of it for nearly a year. Second choices would be the 7625 or WSF, as previously mentioned. I am a new re loader so I wanted to stay away from anything not newbie friendly.Īs a 'brand newbie' then, Win231 (aka HP-38) would be an excellent choice, with lots of load data and really wide "load windows".

Once you get the basics down and are comfortable with the reloading process with more forgiving powders you could try the softer shooting fast powders. Power Pistol, Silhouette, True Blue, WSF, Longshot, HS6, N350, 3N37, AA#7, SR 4756. The powders that really give the highest velocities and what those cartridges are optimized for are at the slower end. Universal, Unique, SR 7625, AA#5, N340 are about as fast as I would go starting out. Not a good place for the beginner to start. The fast powders, while making good powder puff target loads, don't give you much wiggle room from start to max loads and pressures can spike quickly with them. I'd start with one of the medium to slower burn rate powders. Thanks for the great info here everyone! You guys are awesome definitely one of the top notch forums on the web.

Right now I am just looking for components but already have a few 130gr 9mm and going to buy some berrys 124gr HBRN because they seem so highly recommended. I will be reloading for my 75b 9mm and my 75b SA. You'd really need to tell us more about how your loads are going to be used.

Red Dot would work well if ultimate consistency was not important, say for "plinking". Although really good, something slightly faster than 231/HP38 would probably be better.

Then you'd want a faster powder for minimum speed target work.

That's also what your load manuals are going to recommend for general, all-around loading needs. That's for your heavy bullets (147grn for 9mm / ~165grn+ in 40) or SD loads (really high speed) in both calibers. If I was going to play with powder for dual caliber it would be IMR 7525 or Win WSF. It's awesome stuff, but these restrictions put it out of bounds for general "fun shooting" or "fun reloading". You can almost count on any Vit powder being $15 more per pound than your "typical" powder.
