Win 231 powder
Winchester 231 powder was the go-to for my 45 ACP Colt and since I had used it in many of the PPC competitions it proved itself many a time , as I brought home the gold!!

Win 231 - my first powder, been great!
I just started reloading and I needed a versatile powder to reload . 38 special, .45 LC, and even .45 ACP. I was also looking for a powder that would give me a wider range for 'mistakes'. Lastly I needed a powder that would meter well in my RCBS powder measure. This power has done it all and I've been very happy with it! Just bought a bunch more. It's also readily available and noted in many reloading manuals.

9mm
I've been using 231 ball powder for 9mm. It meters well in my XL750 so I don't have to worry about inconsistent loads. I've shot my PB in 25 yard Service Pistol using this powder with Tigershark 135GN HP so needless to say I'm very happy with it.

I have used this powder for years. It is my favorite powder for 9mm’s and .45ACP’s. Clean burning easier cleaning.

Excellent choice for most pistol loads. Soft shooting. I have used 231 for 30 years and have nothing but praise for it.
