I picked up some #5 and #7 for use in 9mm 38/357 and 44. Never used it before so wondering if others have and how did it go?

I have not seen any (Western). I personally like Power Pistol for my 9s and 380s.

Used a lot of #5 in the 9 with cast with good results. Have not used the #7 for myself but did load 1000 9's with 130 r n in 9mm for a friend who was happy with his result's

I have used the #7 in 9mm under heavy boolits with excellent results.

I have a bunch of Hornady 124 HAP bullets I'll give them a go with.

I have used #7 in 38 Special, 357 mag, 9x19mm, 40 S&W, 44 Special, and 45 ACP. It took some digging but the data is out there. Anything Blue Dot will work in, it will too. Use #5 the same way you would Universal or Unique.

I got 500 Hornady FMJ HAP bullets cheap and this powder was on sale 40% off so thought I would see how it works. I mostly use Bullseye, 231 or HS6 in 9mm.
