Thanks,
Probably depends A LOT on what you're trying to achieve (full power? little recoil? what?). I like Unique for easily achieving 125 power factor in 9mm with my 124gr RN cast boolits. I've been having trouble finding it recently, so I tried CFE Pistol and I'm getting very similar velocities as well as accuracy. I'm still trying it out (only shot a couple of boxes of it so far), but if it holds up, it might be my new favorite because it's inexpensive, available, and meters much better than Unique.

Anything in between, it all works fine in a 9.
ive used a few different powders with that bullet herco,700x ,blue dot ,win 231 ,pb but for the most part have had the best results with red dot . I do plan on trying to work with unique and this bullet in the future
Power Pistol, 231. red dot.

Unique and Universal Clays for me
W231 for all but the heavyweights. For that I use Universal.
PowerPistol for limp-wristed shooters, VihtaVouri 3N37 to hit that 1000fps sweetspot with little recoil, BlueDot for magnum junkies like myself...
Don't forget Bullseye, my favorite.
I use Red Dot.
I have used Bullseye, Unique and AA5 in the 9mm, all with good results.
Another vote for Win 231......
I've had excellent results from Hodgdon Longshot, it's a newer powder and is readily available
Bullseye for mine.

Red Dot best, Unique next.
