Which powder for use in

D@D

Reloading 9mm, 38sp, 357mag. I'd like to use 1 type of powder in all 3.

Any single powder will be less than perfect in at least one of those rounds. You can probably get closest with Blue Dot, but it will be good for only about 3/4 throttle loads in the 357 Mag. Fine in the other two, though.

You might try Unique also.

If these rounds are to be loaded for plinking, which seems probable, you could do a lot worse than HS-6, and load data for that powder in those calibers is available on Hodgon's website for free.

Hodgdon "Titegroup" will load almost all pistol calibers. It burns clean, Costs less per pound than most other powders and is not position sensitive like many other powders, so lower volume in bigger cases is not an issue. Titegroup is for target type loads and won't do well for loads on the hotter end of the scale. I use it in .380, 9mm, .38spl, 357 mag, 40 S&W, 10mm, 41mag, 44mag, 45acp and 45 Colt.

Well I use bullseye in everything, and you could do worse; but it won't deliver max performance from any of them either.

My personal favorite is HS-6, TiteGroup, and PowerPistol in that order, but 90% of my handgun reloading is for .40S&W and 9mm. But I do believe that HS-6 is going to give you the best "generalist" fit across all those calibers. Titegroup will be ok too. For all those different calibers, you will likely find the best fit with powders around or right above the mid burn rates up to the 75th percentile burn rate (no more). HS-6 is right above mid point of burn rates, with Titegroup pushing that 75th percentile.

But likely everyone is saying, you find a powder that is good across all these calibers, but you will not have a excellent load across all. Cheers.

I was using Unique till I tried it in my Suppressor.

I now run Tightgroup. Much cleaner.
