| From what I've seen a lot of ppl are using universal and titegroup. I will be shooting it out of a glock .22 with kkm barrel and a glock 23 with kkm barrel. Anyone else have any suggestions. I would like to be shooting 180grn bullets |

I've used both Winchester 231 or Unique with good results, Blue Dot had a tremendous amount of unburned powder, I shot it once over a bench that was painted white, after about 25 rounds I could write my name in the unburned powder on the bench in front of me, I've been reloading for pistols for over 45 years and I've never seen that before. I think its designed for heavy magnum charges in 357 mag or 44 mag, probably using magnum primers. |

Bullseye has been great for my 40's. Light shooting plink loads. I am about to try Power Pistol and 231 as I finally came into some... + 1 I use bullseye for my 40 plinking ammo as well. Will be loading a bunch of 9mm for my wife with it soon. Power Pistol for heavier rounds in both cartridges. Bullseye for lighter side of things for both has worked for me but Power pistol is very dirty for anything under 140grn in 9mm. Even with 147's it is a tad dirty when compared to Bullseye. I've ran it in loads down to 90 grns with charges so low it wouldn't cycle.( which was around 5.0grns in my gun) Bullseye uses a slightly smaller amount of powder than Power Pistol. |

Quoted: I'd be careful with this, and avoid it entirely if you want full power loads. There are a lot of blown up .40 guns with TG. Quoted: Quoted: Titegroup. Works for all the autos basically. And yes, you can find it. I'd be careful with this, and avoid it entirely if you want full power loads. There are a lot of blown up .40 guns with TG. |

Quoted: I have the same setup and use Titegroup,if you can find it. Lately I use W 231 as a substiture for practice loads. John |

Bullseye has been great for my 40's. Light shooting plink loads. I am about to try Power Pistol and 231 as I finally came into some... I agree with this. I use Bullseye for everything. 9mm, 38spl, 40 S&W, 44mag, 45ACP . I like Bullseye for heavy bullets more than lighter ones but it works just fine for all of it and I have about 25lbs of the stuff. 
With that said, I have a racegun load of 11.0gr of BlueDot under a 135gr and it makes USPSA Major and there is no doubt when it goes off. It works a comp really well. PowerPistol has a very bright and violent muzzle blast but I found it to be very accurate too. Look here for some other 40 S&W loads. http://handloads.com/loaddata/default.asp?Caliber=40%20SqqqW&Weight=All&type=Handgun&Order=Powder&Source= Just remember to work up slowly. 40 S&W is not exactly a forgiving round and most factory loads are at or very near max pressures. |

A lot of good suggestions here. I enjoy how clean Accurate No. 5 burns in 40 S&W. It may not produce the top speeds, but it is a heck of a lot cleaner burning. Same here. I use 5.8grns of accurate #5 powder and 180grn Berrys plated bullets. I get nice tight groups with my G22 and G27. |

I'll bet there is no doubt when that goes off. |
