First Ive reloaded for competion for 20 years shooting USPSA (we used to call it IPSC im OLD) IDPA, some three gun stuff, and Skeet/Trap so im not a stranger to it but Ive never had a need to do it for "Self Defense/the world just went to shit" before. So paying attention to muzzle flash and clean burning was never really important nor was running the upper end of the load spectrum SOOOO.
I quit shooting competition 17 yrs ago, for the most part that also ended most my reloading for handguns, but all my stuff is still sitting in the garage. So Im thinking Im going to uncover the 650s and go to work.
I want Factory type velocities for 9x19 ,40 S&W, and 45 ACP anyone using a powder that handles all of that and meters well is clean and has a low muzzle flash?
Ive run a butt load of TiteGroup, AA#2 and AA#5. I wanna say that AA#5 was NASTY but it may have been AA#7 or something else I remember buying 8lbs of something that was HORRIBLE and it seems like it was in the AA family. it sucks getting old.
in searching Ive seen a little on WSF and CFE Pistol but Im not finding a lot on defensive powders.
PLEASE dont tell me about legalities - if it comes to the point I have to use reloads - I DONT CARE - and
Ive reloaded enough that I am perfectly comfortable using mine for life and death situations.
