Seems we like discussion on all things guns, and I have little luck with searches, so.....
For reloading pistol it was recomended I use Hodgdon Titegroup, so that's what I bought. Looking at the powder burn rate chart posted on another thread Titegroup has the 12th fastest burn rate, out of almost 200 powders. What might that mean to you pros? I assume from this that a faster powder is what you want for pistol. Would a slightly slower OR faster powder be better for .45 OR 9mm?
The Speer book listed Titegroup for 9mm and .38 but not .45, the Hornady book did, as did the Hodgdon site.
Thoughts, input?
This site has been great as far as answering questions that I'm sure have come up times before. The other site that was my main discussion forum (fishing) before NWFA had quite a few people that would not share, or jus tell you to "Do a search". I'm liking this site more and more every day.
Thanks.
Mike
