What is your “go too” powder for pistol caliber rounds…and why?
- Thread starter PewPewChris
- Start date
This would no doubt start a fight at my house. Started one last night just by saying “yes dear”.
If you wanna really start a fight tell her, "you farted last night and then woke up and said What? Huh?"
I don’t really want to start one, I just seem to have that talent,
Find one that meters well and stick with it. I have been loading titegroup in 9 for a year or so and I know what the level looks like loaded. I eyeball each one and when it is different, you will notice. Doesn’t hurt to weigh every tenth one until you get confident.
for some reason me saying I eyeball them all made me think of mad eye from Harry Potter.

Actually Titewad did great for minor but was so soft that the timers couldn't pick it up most of the time. CFE Pistol is doing well so far for major. Next I'll try HS6 or Titegroup next just because I have it otherwise I like CFE Pistol.
Titegroup. It isn't the cleanest powder I've run but love the consistency across all calibers I load.
I use Alliant Sport Pistol and Shooters World Cleanshot for most of my handgun and PCC loading.
I don’t like Titegroup especially for the PCC… as the minimal charge weights barely fill the case, making it harder to visually verify a powder drop. I’m talking 2.8-2.9 grains for a competition load. It’s a-ok for handguns though.
CFE pistol I use occasionally for my open gun. It’s quite dirty and doesn’t get a full burn on lighter competition loads. So it’s a last resort for my 130pf uspsa stuff.
Always good to have load data for a variety of powders for when you can’t get your preferred powder.
