    W231 is the same as Hodgdon Hp-38. Although, I don't use it I know those that do. It is an ok powder. I prefer IMR, but that is just my preference. You should find it sufficient.
    Don't retreat! Reload!!!

    231 is a good powder for 9mm. It's a good powder for lots of pistol cartridges., I've used it this week for both 9mm FMJ and .45 ACP LSWC rounds. It meters well in my new Hornady press.

    Have y'all tried 3.9 grs of 231? I was thinking of loading it for a light practice load for my 19.

    Good Shooting,

    Mike

    For what bullet? I use 231 for 9mm loads, but a bit larger charge.... It's definitely not over charged! Just pay attention for "squibs" and let us know how it works for you.

    Sorry, I forgot to mention the bullet is a hardcast 125 LRN from Meister Bullets.

    Yes, Bullseye is a very good choice for 9mm but I am out of it at this time and had some 231 on hand. In all my years of shooting. my Glock 17 and 19 are the first 9mm handguns I have ever owned.

    Good shooting,

    Mike
