I have exactly one pound of 800x on hand and no options locally for normally listed pistol powders. I am looking to increase my supply and choices.
In that vein, I searched and called every establishment within 80 miles I could that might possibly have powder on hand. None had powder. Few had primers or ammunition available.
No one offered any expectation of the situation changing anytime soon, as in the next 2 or 3 months.
I did find an large quantity of Winchester Super Handicap available at a reasonable price.
Is this powder suitable for light to medium loads in 9mm and 38 special?
It falls halfway between titegroup and Winchester 231 on the burn rate chart but I have not seen any data and cannot find any one who has experience loading this powder.
If anyone on this site has any information about it's suitability for these cartridges, and any starting load data, I would appreciate hearing about it.
Thanks in advance
Tazman
