what kind of experiences have you had with this powder and 9mm jhp

I use true blue for all my pistol loads with excellent results...gotta love the way it meters. I use it for 9mm (haven't tried JHP) using berries plated 115g bullets, also load .40 cal,.45 and 5.7x28. Glad to have found 1 powder that fit the bill.

I agree. I opened it up when I got home from the range today and it looks like it would meter really good in a progressive press. The guy at the range sold me a lb. for 17.00 so I figured I'd try it. After seeing it I'm glad I did.

I like it. I use it for 40s&w and 9mm, mainly because it meters great and I have carbines in those 2 calibers and slower powders are supposed to be better in long barrels. Never used it with JHP, but I assume it would be just fine.

True Blue is truly a spherical powder, if spilled on your reloading bench, will roll all over the place.

Meters very well through a PM.

I have used True Blue with light cast bullet loads, mid range and full power loads with jacketed bullets in 9mm.

Got great accuracy with all loads.

In full power JHP loads, it's very similar to Power Pistol. Powerful, accurate, and a noticeable muzzle flash.

I like it.

For all my heavy loads I use other powders. Every single pistol caliber I have gets loaded with True Blue for plinking ammo. It really is a fantastic powder.

I've loaded (w/ TB) 45 acp, 380 acp, 44 mag, 40 s&w.

Use True Blue for my 9mm 115 gr Precision Delta FMJ loads and .38 special loads. Really happy with the way it meters. Was a little confused with the load data change that Ramshot provided. The differences between their data for 9mm between the 2010 and current versions there is a huge difference between starting loads, while there wasn't any difference in the .38 special loads.

I use True Blue in pistol calibers including 9mm. Like the others have said, it meters great in a progressive press. Ramshot Zip also meters well, and works very good in 9mm.
