I hope someone can help me, i havent reloaded in a long time, the last time i did, i used Unique powder for my pistol reloads. What i remember, it seemed very smoky and dirty, can anyone recommend a clean burning pistol powder, i'd like to get back into it, and i'm not up on what is currently available. I mainly shoot 9mm, and on rare occasion, some 38/357. Also, how long are primers still good, they have been kept cool and dry?Thank you!

If I could have only one pistol powder, it would be Titegroup. I've used it in 9mm, .40 s&w, .45 acp, 10mm, and .38 Special.
Primers should be good for decades if stored well.
Tite Group is a great powder. It burns clean and uses low charge weights similar to Bullseye. I stopped buying Bullseye and found Tite Group shot as well and is actually less costly to buy. Primers stored well can last almost forever.
Thanks guys, i think i'll give Titegroup a try.
My father in law has been reloading for 50 years and swears by Titegroup. Good stuff. You’ll like it.

Titegroup is my go to powder now, but CFE pistol is another one to try if you can't find TG.
Another vote for Titegroup.
I suppose it's not very smart of us to be tellin' what our favorite is. We're creating our own competition for a somewhat scarce resource!
