Titegroup as well seeing I also load for the 45acp
Yes, it is an older container. They have discontinued it.Is SR4756 still being made? I thought it was discontinued. I burned many, MANY pounds of 4756 in .45ACP before I discovered the wonders of WW231.
231 wouldn't be great for max .357 performance, but it COULD be used. I shot a lot of 4.5 grains of 231 with 158 grain lead bullets in .38 Spec cases, so it would be perfectly safe in .357 (although not, as I said, a top performer). Coincidentally, 4.5/231 behind a 115-124 grain lead bullet is a good 9mm load.Yes, it is an older container. They have discontinued it.
Yes, WW231 is fine for 45ACP but my research did not recommend it for 357mag.
BTW, the list I posted is just providing inventory on what I have on hand for the 357.
FYI only! It's $76 for 1# with fees PLUS shipping and tax. Of course, buying 10#'s would lower the price considerably.Brownells has 2400 in stock
Very good info, Sam. Thanks for taking the time to post all that!I going to put a "plug" in here. There are other manufacturers of powder than Alliant. BTW I gave up my reliance on Alliant 31 years ago after their plant blew up twice in a year and the source of Red Dot dried up. Now VISTA Outdoors, who recently announced a pending shortage because of two wars, thus instigating a price increase. Good old Jason Vanderbrink at his greedy best.
At present I have been using Shooters World powders made by/marketed by LoveX in Europe. This is the same folks who supplied John Sonday and the original Accurate Powders in the 1980s. Cleanshot = Acc #2, Tight Group, 231, Bullseye; Ultimate Pistol = Autocomp, Unique; Auto Pistol Acc#5 & similar to HS6, Power Pistol; Major Pistol = Acc #7, Blue Dot, IMR Blue, similar to Longshot,; Heavy Pistol = Acc #9, & similar to to Lil'Gun and 2400, H110/296, IMR 4227; Buffalo Rifle = Acc 5744.
I have also been using Match Rifle = Acc 2520, CFE223, RL15, IMR 4064; Precision = Varget, IMR 4320. These powders are loaded in 3006 & 308/7.62 - 150-168 gr bullets, 223/556-77 gr bullets.
Add to that IMR4227 for not quite wildUnique for mild
H110/Lil Gun for wild
