Rich, I have always used Red Dot for most of my loading. 5 Gr. is about what I use for 9MM .45 and .38 Special as I remember but it might be 4.5. Mostly for economy because almost any other powder uses more grains per load. Also because I didn't have to change my powder thrower..just used the same for all three.
Ted Green (Thor) recommended Blue Dot to me for 9MM Artillery loading years ago..swore by it. Again, A really fine article! Jerry

 Lyman's 45th Ed lists Red Dot at 3.9 grs for 93 gr FMJ to start. They also list 3.5 grs Bullseye, but I have never liked Bullseye...too dirty for me...
