    Yeah, to say the least. 45, 9 mm, 38 special, 9 x 18,….. sorry I won’t post loads but I will tell you I get them right out of Hodgdon or Lyman Cast Boolets. It is my go to pistol powder, especially saying that’s about the only thing I seem to be able to get lately.

    Last week I was shooting my 1917 S&W using a230 rn over 5.5 grains of 231 in a 45AR case. Shot some great groups. In 1911 s it is 230 rn over 5.2 grains of 231. HP 38 is the same powder. Runs a little over 800. Good luck with your project.
