    Hodgdon Titegroup

    Anyone use Titegroup here? Looking for a cast boolit powder for 45 acp, 44 mag, 327 fed, and some light cast loads for a handful of rifles.

    Looking at it as an alternative to Bullseye. Hoping it's a little cleaner, but it's about the same price.

    Any thoughts?

    I've shot tightgroup in 45 colt, 44 special, 32 mag, with good results, accurate, clean, not position sensitive. I don't know why I've never tried it in 45 acp, just haven't got around to I guess.

    I've used it in 9mm, .38/.357, 44 Rem mag, .45acp and maybe some others. Good powder, but I wouldn't use it in a rifle cartridge.
    For light lead rifle loads there are much better choices like Unique and Trail Boss.

    Side note, I see they finally got realistic about the price of Trail Boss, it's down to $13 for 9 ounces.

    It is a very good powder. The only thing I would say is to be careful about using it in the longer cases so as to not have a double charge unknowingly. I use it in everything except my 357 and 44mag.

    It is my go to powder for loads from 800 to 1100 fps in the 380 ,38, 357 mag , 44 mag, 45 acp & 454 casull it will also work in the 9mm & 38 super but i get better accuracy with WSF,HS6 & power pistol in those 2.
    Ive used over 20 lbs of TG so far

    My Springfield MilSpec .45 ACP loves the Lee 452 200 RF with Titegroup and WLP primers.

    It's my standard load for that gun. I buy it in 4 lb jugs.

    I use it in my .45ACP It's available in all the gun stores where I live, and the price is right.

    Titegroup is my favorite in .45acp with 200 and 230gr boolits, for 185s I like 231 or WSF better. Also works great with 124-5gr boolits in 9x19. TG is a winner in 45colt with 250-255gr cast. It is OK in 9x18, but WSF works better.

    It is my go to for 38, 357, 40, 45acp, 45 Colt. If they are under 1000 fps TG works for me. I have gone thru at least 3-8 pound kegs. If you want my data let me know.

    I've used it in light loads in .44M, 357M, standard loads in 38S, It has also been good in light loads with cast in 30/30.

    Very nice powder, I like it. Not the only one, but a good one.
    6.5 --7 grains is a nice load to shoot in the 44 Mag with the Lyman
    # 429421 250 grain bullet. mild load and nice for mid range. 900 to a 1000 FPS

    I like to shoot a lot and it seemed like it got my gun too hot, too quick. Anyone else have that problem?

    Never noticed a gun getting too hot with Titegroup, I use starting load data or slightly above, mostly cast boolits. P95 15 rounds, swap mag, 15 rounds, swap mag 15 rounds, not any hotter than factory ammo.
