.40 S&W powder preference

[Devilbird]

I’m am about to start reloading for my .40. I just ordered 500 180 xtreme RNFP and 500 180 xtreme HP and 1000 cases from Wes. What’s everyone’s preferred pistol powder for this grain bullet? And is your preferred powder good for heavier grain 9mm as well for future loading?

I shoot thousands of rounds a year in .40 S&W, I use Alliant Power Pistol and Hodgdon Longshot. Excellent velocity and accuracy. No other powders I've tried perform as well as these two. I can't pick one over the other because they are both excellent. I just grab which ever they have on the shelf when I go to get powder.

I’ve used tight group for both with good results.

I use TiteGroup for all of my 40 S&W. I have shot thousands of the 180 X-Treme bullets with no issues.

I load almost all my Semi Auto Pistols with AA#2
Never found a better metering powder, and one that was more accurate with less recoil, anf higher velocities

I m a titegroup fan as well for 9 and 40

I tried TiteGroup, but I ended up with lots of soot and unburnt powder all over my arms in a short amount of time. Then I tried WST and it has been working well for me.

Edit: I've also tried Longshot and Ramshot Competition. I couldn't make power factory easily with Competition, and Longshot seemed kind of "boomy" compared to some of the other powders.
