Did lots of testing with 231 when I was at Ruger. WAS the powder of choice!
Don't have the pressure-tested data but 3.5 grains was good full charge load with 85 XTP in .32 S&W Long brass and 4.5...
Did not test H110.
Alliant #2400 did not produce acceptable ballistic uniformity with large ES and SDs, loose groups and vertical stringing.
Overall the 3 grain Bullseye load with the 85 XTP...

Mostly I am a wheelgun guy. But I own three 9mm Berettas, a couple dozen mags, 1000 147-grain Federal 9MS carry rounds and 5000 147 FMJ FN American Eagle for practice and training. No Glocks, SIGs or...

Mine drops .360 as well. I load as cast and unsized tumble-lubing with 45-45-10 from.LSstuff. Fired brass is not resized, but decapped, primed and lightly flared only. The .360 bullet is inserted to...

Depends when both revolver and extra cylinder were made.
Will likely require some gunsmithing, but have seen it done.

I used it years ago with good results, but these days wish to avoid the added cost of gas checks. I feel higher velocity unnecessary.
I would put the .44-40 in the same category. In heat treated post-1920 Colt revolvers, the modern Italian clones, S&W 544 and the Rugers the Accurate 43-206H or 43-240F make effective game loads with...
My own choices EDC .38 Special +P 158.LHP Winchester X38SPD or Remington R38S12. 4-in Colt OP as primary. Coltvl Agent 2-inch as backup.
No plastic allowed.
No double-stack mags after 1945.
Choices:
Pocket auto 9mm or smaller
Service auto larger than 9mm
Long ago I standardized and stocked up on Federal 147 grain Hi-Shok 9MS for my S&W 940 and Beretta 92. Velocity is 900 fps in the 1-7/8" snub and 1030 in the 4.9" Beretta. This contract load has...

With today's replacement costs for primers, powder and bullets I don't find it cost-effective to load 9mm.
I do save the my fired brass, sort by headstamp and sell!
