9mm & 45ACP powder

[jonp]

Used to use TiteGroup. Now I use ETR7 in EVERYTHING!!!!!! Great clean-burning universal powder for everything I do. Only MAGS & bottlenecks need something different.

You sure those guys aren't paying you to promote their powder? Wait, your one of those guys aren't you?

[jonp]

Promo for target in both

[Expat74]

bullseye mostly for the .45s, unique, and VV N340.

N340 is my go-to for 9mm

[Lloyd Smale]

aa2, 231 or bullseye

[Moonie]

I generally use Unique in both those calibers but for light target loads that are very clean I sometimes use Clays.

[Ed_Shot]

+1 for either Red Dot/Promo or WSF. I do favor Promo for .45 and WSF for 9MM.

My Favorite that i like to use is W231 in my 45 and no.5 in the 9mm. I'm still testing more of the clean shot powder in both.
( I have found other powders that work well like Auto Comp, Hs6, Power Pistol and Be-86.)

231 & Tightgroup for 9mm, WST for 45. I used to use 231 for everything, but find the Tightgroup to be a little denser which works well in 9mm. WST just works well for me in 45.

Naaaaa......just the best powder I have ever used. It is really nice to now have only 4 powders. One for all straight-wall plinking and standard loads, one for mag loads, and two for bottle neck rifles.

Too bad those ETR guys shot themselves in the feet on a large reloading forum like this!!!!! Great powder....looks like a p-poor company/cust service.

While I have used powers in the 9mm and 45ACP that worked as well, none have worked better than Bullseye.

This has been my experience as well. And it seems to last forever. I also use 800 x with cast boolets and a lee dipper for both calibers

You bang this drum quite frequently, but until they get their customer service act together I doubt you will find any attempting to buy that powder.

I kinda thought the same for awhile. It does appear to be a good product though as he mentions.

IMR SR-7625 under a 200gr wadcutter in the 45 is my accuracy load. (Still got about 12 lbs so I'm good until I run out).
in the 9mm I like power pistol for full-house loads and promo or Red dot for light target loads.

[Lloyd Smale]

is this a surplus powder? Where are you buying it?

Using ETR-7 in both 9MM and 45ACP.

When the guy says it about 500 times like a broken record including saying that Unique is horrible powder about as many times, it kinda makes ya wonder; doesn't it?

[Meatpuppet]

ETR-7 for practice/plinkin' VV N320 for match shooting (especially for heavy 147gr 9mm).

It's supposed to be repackaged CSB-1. Expansion Industries has load data for it or you can use Tightgroup data per Expansion Industries instructions. Always work up loads per good reloading practices to be safe.

thanks for the info

[Loudy13]

I switched to HS-6 from Unique in my 45 and loved the results for jacketed bullets, but for cast bullets I have been using Trail boss and I don't think I am going to switch back. There is a different smell with the TB but it shoots great and clean!!

What is your favorite powder for 9mm and 45 ACP reloads.

ETR7 from Expansion Industries ... http://expansion-industries.com/
Excellent reloads also for 380 - 45LC - 32-20 - 12ga shotshells that I have additionally made reloads for
