I'm not wise in the ways of reloading yet as I'm still learning. I was given several 8 pound jugs of powder, 2 of Bullseye and 3 of Titegroup. I only want to load 230 gr fmj and 200 swc in 45 and 147 jhp in 9mm for suppressor use.
I have load data for both but not to sure what would be best to use for my application? What to start with? Obviously I'm not wanting to get high velocities but need recommendations on which of the two powders to use for each cal and a decent starting point? Thanks ahead for the help! |
| I think bullseye was made for .45acp and 230gr. ball and there's plenty of load date at the powder manufacturers site for both powders/bullets. 147gr subsonic 9mm should be easy to do as well. Being new to reloading I think I would stick to the manufacturers data for now. |

Titegroup is great for 230s. Service Pistol shooters use 4.8 grains for 50 yard, full power stuff. 4.2 grains is great for 25 yard, lower recoil ammunition.
4.0 grains of Bullseye is the classic charge for 200 or 185 grain lead semi-wad cutter ammunition. 4.1 of Titegroup works well also. Load some up, and enjoy. |

4.0 of Bullseye with a 200 LSWC is an awesome target load. Quoted:

So the best powder to stick with for subs would be Titegroup?
Bullseye for standard 230 loads and LSWC 200 grain stuff? How about lead 120gr 9mm rounds.....bullseye? Would it be wise to stick with titegroup for all? so many questions the books dont seem to answer

I prefer Clays or True Blue.
