Titegroup in 9mm?

[leadhead]

Is tite group a good powder for 9mm with a 125gr cast?
Would bullseye be any better? Thanks for any info....

Well i had issues with leading with coated bullets with titegroup. I changed to sport pistol by Alliant. Some info from a cast manufacturer.

''Attention All Customers! Over the years, we have noticed one common theme when it comes to dirty/leaded barrels...Powders with fast and or hot burn rates. Here is a link to a powder burn rate chart. We recommend powders with burn rates slower than the top 15 on this list, with the exceptions being Ramshot Competition, Red Dot, and N310.

We HIGHLY recommend checking out "Alliant Sport Pistol." It's an excellent, cheap, and readily available powder that is made specifically for coated bullets. There are plenty of other options out there, so please stay away from very fast/hot burning powders with our coated bullets. Thank you! ''

I didn’t have any leading issues. Titegroup is, in my limited experience, really dirty. I found it to be subject to the firearm used. My ppq ran it flawlessly. My g19 was less than glock-reliable with it. It was worse in 115gr than 124gr. Of course, this is just my opinion based on my experience. Yours may be vastly different.

I use BULLSEYE in 9mm. A 120-125gr (Depends on mold) either 50/50 or WLL BAC Lube. I've tried the same load with PC.
Fifty + years. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Been experimenting with titegroup and the lee 124gr 2R. works fine and i love how cheap this powder is, fractions of a penny per charge.

I used TightGroup alot for a few years. It was good and have gone through a lot of pounds of it. It was good in my limited experience with it in 9mm.

After reading a few articles. I switched to Unique in my 9mm and tried Tight Group in my reduced riffle loads. It was more consistent and tighter accuracy wise with Unique in 9mm (small cases) and Tight Group in riffle cases (large cases).

I too had leading with PCed 9mm bullets. It never occured to me to try a different gun powder. I had written PC off as a fail in 9mm for me unless i used a PB gas check. Might have to play with different powders.

I love Titegroup in the 9mm. I load the Lee 120gr TC, mine weigh 123gr with WD'd range scrap. It's lots cheaper and cleaner burning than Bullseye...

I use titegroup in 9mm with lee 125 gr round nose boolits, cast fairly hard, tumble lubed, and sized to .357. In a couple of my pistols, it has shot really well. I am running them approx. 1100 fps.

I guess I must just be lucky. I don't get leading using any powder I have tried in my 9mm handguns and I have 8 different ones.
I have used Titegroup, SR4756, HS6, Bullseye, WST, WSF, and AA7. Titegroup tends to cause the barrel to heat up faster than the other powders, but that was the only thing I noticed.
I had no accuracy difference between any of the powders.

Thanks for the replies guys... I've been using 231 and it seems to be
OK, but want to try some different powders in the 9mm. Trying to get
something that will give me a little better groups on target.

Titegroup with the Lee 125gn round flat.
Powder coated.
Ruger PC carbine, glock 26, 1911, ruger blackhawk convertible.

No leading.
I posted comparison chronograph results with the PCC and the 26.
I thought titegroup was consistent.

Good luck
:)

Titegroup and HP-38 are what work best in my 9mm's

TiteGroup is my go to powder in many handgun calibers including the 9X19. 95% of all the bullets I shoot are powder coated. Works great for me. Gp
