Pistol Powder List?

...

...

OK, here goes:

If I didn't include your favorite powder, DON'T vote on one of the options on the list.  Post the name of your powder below and I will add the option onto the "ballot".

I also use 700x.

If my setup worked, you can vote for multiple powders AND retract a vote.

...

Clays or VV N310.

Added

You forgot American Select, Solo 1000 and e3.

Winchester 231/HP38

added

700-x fell off the list.

...

How about all of the above

...

While I cast my vote for 700X, it is not my absolute 'favorite', it is what we have been able to get here in Northern New England this summer. I was down to a few onces of several powders and out of the rest when a friend called to say that he was standing in front of a case of 700X at a LGS. I knew only that it was reported to be fairly versatile and said to get some. Shortly thereafter 6 containers (they are no longer a full pound like much of retailing - they shrunk) showed up and I am working on loads for all our pistol needs at theis time. I have to say that it does not meter all that smoothly through my 10 X measure, frequently a 'flake' will slide between the housing and drum and tend to bind things up. My load development is still in the early stages consisting of 'will it function and drop a falling plate'. I have noticed that I have moved well past the start loads without getting 100% lockback on my Sig 227 while everything tried has functioned with the 1911s.
Of topic for a Bullseye discusion but learning to stand and walk on my new knee has slowed my progress in that field this summer .... but next year!

ClayDot, probably include with clays.

W231 is a old bullseye shooters load, you don't see many new shooters try it. I cant say why it was once favored by many, not any dirtier than bullseye, about the same cost too. I have 12 lbs as back up powder for my retirement years myself.

Grey.  Any fast powder that will give me the velocity I need.

I use bullseye the most.

...

In the late 80's Bullseye and 231 were typical powders being used by most BE shooters I knew in San Diego area. So I'm surprised it's that low.

Looks like WST is still a well kept secret. I changed to WST when Winchester stopped making 452AA and have yet to find anything better. If I do much more testing of powders in the 45 I will have to buy a new set of 1911 inserts for my Ransom Rest.
