You probably won't ever be satisfied with just one powder when you are talking about a blackpowder era cartridge vs a modern smokeless propellant round like the 9mm. Robertc made a good point about the history of the 38 and its relevance here.
357 mags.Īsk plenty of questions, I'm a relative newb at this and a bunch of people on here know a lot more than I do. It's hard to save much $$ reloading 9mm, but that is a different story with the. There are also a lot of different bullet manufacturers out there depending on what you want to do with them. 45ACP and 9mm, but they are too pricey for me for plinking ammo. They are good bullets, and I've loaded a bunch of them in. 357 was ~1100 fps, with H110 (much slower powder) it was ~1400 fps. You'll see the same thing with other manufacturer's powders too. At max loads with the same 125gr bullet you get 1232, 1295, 1355, and 1554 fps for the respective powders. The True Blue will give you decent velocities with 9mm, but is too fast for the. I've been looking at this a lot the last couple of days - specifically some Ramshot True Blue and Alliant Accurate #5, #7 & #9 - they are in burn rate order. If I were you, I'd focus on one powder for the 9mm, and another for the.

To keep the pressures inside of SAAMI specs, it burns too fast and gives you a fairly low muzzle velocity - even if there are published loads in whatever reloading manual you get. 38 spl, it was originally designed for black powder and the empty case volume is huge if you're using a fast powder like Titegroup/Bullseye or the like. I've loaded them all up before with varying charges of Titegroup which works, but isn't ideal. I've loaded all of those cartridges for a few years, but I don't think there is one great powder for them because the case volumes are so different. There are about a zillion answers/opinions, so here's mine for what it's worth. Maybe I'm overthinking all of this and as long as I find a reliable reloading reference from something like Lyman's or Hornady and my components are listed, I'm good to go as long as I start at the low end and work my way up? Given the cost savings over commercial ammo, I wanted to use 125gr Hornady xtp bullets for the 38 and 357, is that a bad choice? Should I consider something different? What are some good powder options that would work well for all 3 cartridges? (I'd prefer to stick with CCI small pistol primers since I have a good stack of those already)Ģ. So my questions boil down to the following.ġ. I thought I was going to go with Unique and 125 XTP bullets for his 38/357 cartridges but read a lot people questioning Unique for a JHP in a 357 mag load. I've been doing a lot of reading trying to find a good medium/plinking load for him and keep reading conflicting opinions. I own a 9mm and was discussing my new equipment with my dad and he said he'd love to have me work up some rounds for his 38sp and 357 mag pistols. I am a rookie reloader and about to try my hand at reloading some hand gun cartridges. I did a forum search but maybe didn't have the right combination of search terms. I apologize if this has been covered before.
