What is smokeless pistol powder? Smokeless powder is the name given to a number of propellants used in firearms and artillery that produce negligible smoke when fired, unlike the gunpowder or black powder they replaced.
Smokeless powder allowed the development of modern semi- and fully automatic firearms and lighter breeches and barrels for artillery. Harkaitz Maireles Explainer. What kind of powder is Varget?
Varget features small, extruded grains for uniform metering, is insensitive to hot and cold temperatures and produces higher energy for improved velocities over other powders in its burning-speed class. Judit De Maya Pundit. What is the best powder for reloading 45 ACP? Chadya Baguena Pundit. What powder is best for 6. For 6. Nilson Griso Pundit. How many grains does a 9mm Luger have? The usual bullet weights for 9mm Luger range from to grains.
Lighter and heavier bullets can be had, but they are not common for factory loads. When I was just starting reloading, Winchester was highly recommended by a number of my friends but I couldn't find any for several years so gave up on even trying it since I settled on PP.

Anyone use Clays for 9mm? I've heard mixed reviews but plenty of guys using it with success. The point would be to use only one powder for. All plinking style loads. Other powders I could use for this purpose would be Titegroup, but I don't really like how it meters HS-6 maybe?

I would use the powder with the largest spread. I wouldn't use the powder with the tightest spread. Then, if I didn't know what bullet weight I wanted to use, I would look at the spread of the powders across the different bullet weights, the powder with the largest spread for grn bullets 9mm example wouldn't necessarily have the largest spread for 's, but that would give me a better idea of what powder may be workable for the largest variation of bullet weights.
All things being equal which they never are if it's 'close', I'll use something I have, I'd rather not use a dirty powder, and how well the powder meters is of importance as well.
I don't like using powders that are difficult to get a consistent charge from my powder measure. Ive found that titegroup isnt really much more dirty than a bunch of other powders I have used. Youre eventually going to have to clean your gun no matter what powder you use, using something other than titegroup isnt going to change that.
I think people exaggerate things to some degrees. Titegroup is a good powder, I like WST because the gun doesnt get as hot as with titegroup and is not as dense so it fills the case more easier to spot a dbl charge.
Ahh, excellent thoughts! As an engineer I like your approach. I think I may end up placing a large order from Powder Valley though I want to check out some of the local stores if I can avoid the Hazmat fee.
Is that normal for local powder purchases? The markup is insane on primers, and I'll make my savings on just buying primers. A 1lb jug of HP38 was also 25 dollars. I'm starting to read that Titegroup isn't as beginner friendly since its pressure levels increase rapidly so I will likely just get Clean Shot, HP38, and N! If you're up for a drive, there are some shops over in Pekin that carry reloading components. I think its about a 90 minute drive for you.
That's where I usually get all of my components from. Your call if the gas money works out! Can you give me a few names? At the moment I'm contemplating buying a 4lb tub of N and 4lb of Clean Shot and 5k primers from Powder Valley to make up for the Hazmat.
I hate that you guys keep giving me more and more options Hearing your testimony on True Blue is making me want it too. Start new topic. Prev 1 2 Next Page 1 of 2. Recommended Posts.

Black powder is the traditional powder that was used in firearms until smokeless came on the market. Basically speaking, smokeless powder is about 3 times as powerful as black powder , producing higher pressure and velocities—this means you should never use smokeless guns meant for black powder, due to the fact that it can severely damage the unit and possibly injure the user. If you are unsure about what each of the burn rates means, remember that a fast burn rate means that the pressure is built up very quickly and releases quickly.
Meanwhile, a slow burn rate means pressure builds up more slowly before release and therefore more energy behind each shot. Thus, slower-burning powders are generally equated with higher velocities. According to the type of handgun, the difference in recoil and aim recovery can depend upon the powder type.
