Good 9MM powder
Good 9MM powder
I am looking to get better groups with my 9 and was wondering what is a good powder for it. I like using around 124-5 grain bullet, I use unique now to load 9 and 40 but am not worried about if it works good for both, mainly want the groups for the 9.

I like Titegroup for all my pistol loads. But you have to be careful with it. Its every easy to double charge a load.

Re: Good 9MM powder
Bullseye & Unique are both great general pistol powders. The powder you use will not have as much effect on accuracy & consistancy as tuning your load to your specific pistol. They are all unique & that fantastic load for your Hi-Power may not group worth a damn in your Glock.
Work up a ladder loading for each specific pistol (btw, this also applies to rifles, too!) and see what load that particular pistol likes the best. Harmonics differ from pistol to pistol, even among pistols of the same type & manufacturer. By getting the combination of powder weight, primer, & bullet type, you can tune your load to any specific weapon.
That is not to say that other specific powders may not be better, but I always start with Bullseye or Unique for pistol loads, and rarely can do better with other powders, given proper work up procedures.
My .02 worth, YMMV. I'm certain there are those who will argue, but I rely on 32 years of my own experience when I talk of such things. Am I the world's leading expert? Hell no, but I generally do know what I am talking about.
