Interesting Powder for 9mm Luger

mrerick · 03-30-2014, 04:19 PM

For those looking (and handgun powders have been in remarkably short supply recently) Winchester 231 is exactly the same powder as Hodgden HP-38. Most books that list W-231 also have exactly the same load data listed under HP-38. With less marketing expense, HP-38 has traditionally been priced a little lower than the Winchester powder.

If anyone sees availability of either powder, please PM me. I'm getting down to the last pound...
