What are your favorite pistol powders and why are they your favorites? Can you find them easily at this time?

HP-38 - very economical - Can't find it
Unique - very versitile - Can't find it Trail Boss - fills up the case and is very consistent as a result - Can find it. I started off using Trail Boss with just cast because that's what it was designed for, but turns out it works fine with jacketed too.

I see three of us are in the same boat.....so far......I had a possible on some W231...hasn't shown up yet, and doesn't look good. The source is reliable, they are getting screwed around too. Word is hoarders are buying and storing. I have some, hardly hoarder volume. Gun shows might be the high priced way to go, unless friends in outer states ship it in and we pay the high price of shipping powder as a Hazmat. This really sucks, I could always get powder from two sources, both only have black powder now. And not much of that for muzzleloaders.

231 is my 45 load fav...I have about 11lbs on hand but still hard to find. Autocomp is a newer powder, works well for 45 and the 10MM....easy to find right now but $30 is getting to spendy IMO.....

$30 is about right for 231, over here. Just got an email that Midway has IMR4227 on hand. I think that is mostly for magnum or rifle loads but can be used for pistol if ya got the knowhow.

W231 but haven't seen it in a while. Don't have a pressing need for more so I will wait. I also use Trailboss for 38-40 WCF loads but have been seeing more and more loads for it for more standard calibers like .38, .45 and such. I find H110 at the show I went to and they had a bunch. I used it for 300 Blackout. I haven't seen any AR powder and have put off buying a set of 5.56 dies because of that. No since in getting the dies till I have powder to load in it.

AFAIK, Trailboss is great, almost impossible to have a doublecharge,but meters like hammered dog crap
