2 mar 2013 · W231 is the only powder I used for pistol calibers. So far I use them for 380acp, 9mm, 40s&w, 45acp, and 44mag. I do use different charge weights for each caliber with the exception of 40 and 45 which I use the same.
11 wrz 2010 · 115 gr FMJ MG 4.8 gr of W231 a tad hotter load but shoots quite well out of my Smith 1911 9mm. Out of an Hk P30L was a tad hot.

27 cze 2019 · HP-38 (or W231) is a great powder for regular 9mm loads. I use it to load 115 and 124 gr. rounds. It's also a good powder due to its versatility. I use it to load 9mm, .38 Spcl, .44 Spcl and .45 ACP with good results. As someone else said, it also meters very consistently being a spherical powder. I use it in my Dillon SDB for those four calibers.
