    Looking for a powder recommendation

    I have just recently gotten into reloading and ran my first batch of 9mm with unique a couple weeks ago. I worked up a load and settled on a charge weight and am pleased with the results. What I'm not pleased with is how the unique meters out of my rcbs uniflow powder measure. I am using the small metering drum but I'm having issues getting a consistent drop with such big flakes. I recently loaded up some 233 with H335 powder and was amazed by how well it metered being such a small grain powder.
    I am looking for a pistol powder of the same consistency of the H335 and meter well at a small charge amount. I am hoping said powder could be used on 9mm 380 and 45acp as that's what I'm looking to reload in the immediate future and possibly 38/357 in the distant future.
    Just don't tell my wife how much any of this really costs.

    Bullseye is my go to powder for 9mm and 45 acp, probably work in 38 special too. We shoot a lot of 3-gun and Bullseye is very popular.

    Titegroup is my go to for pistol as I get the most bang for my buck. Just have to make sure and double check your cases as it's easy to double charge.

    I use CFE Pistol. Meters well and almost impossible to double charge without noticing.

    I run AA#2 in all my 9mm, 40, 45, 380 Auto and 38spl.
    Meters great, and is the most "Accurate" powder for me with Xtreme Bullets

    Thank you guys for the recommendations. I will look up some load data and keep me eyes out for one of those next time I'm at the local gun shop.

    I use HP-38/W231 for both 9mm and .45 ACP. It has a little less snap than Titegroup which helps me get back on target quicker for faster follow up shots.

    I use CFE Pistol exclusively for 9mm, it meters well, decent case fill and is "clean"
