2 mar 2013 · One great example for pistol loaders is Winchester W231 and Hodgdon HP-38 (the same powder branded differently). I have used this powder for many different cartridges and load levels- it meters great, is super-versatile, and is a great bulk-buy in 8 lb canisters.
Find load data for Winchester 231 propellant by clicking the button "Loads for this Powder". Winchester 231 is a ball powder, one of the most popular handgun propellants in history. It is ideally suited to 38 Special, 45 Auto, and 9mm standard loads.

Loaded over 4.0 grains of 231, most guns will clock between 950-1,000 FPS for a mild shooting, mid-level, accurate load, depending on barrel length. The MP-Molds 8-cavity 140 grain radiused flat-nose is made for Powder Coating since it’s sans lube grooves.
2 sty 2020 · Looking back over this post I was puzzled by the Winchester load difference, as Hodgdon distributes Winchester and controls their load data. A look at the Hodgdon site resolved the difference. 4.3 grains is maximum for their jacketed Hornady XTP load. 3.7 is the maximum they list for a cast LSWC.
