I've been spending some bench time this week working on my 9mm handloads. Just finished a load workup with HS 6 and found a sweet spot at 4.4 grains for accuracy. Anyone have a favorite 9mm load they’d recommend?
 
What kind of scale or powder measure do you usually use? Having good gear really makes a difference when it comes to getting consistent results with your pistol loads.
 
I've had great luck with 4.2grs of Titegroup paired with a 124gr FM. It's become my go-to for the range. It burns cleaner than a whistle, stays consistent, and cycles well in pretty much any setup you throw at it. The recoil also is totally manageable, which is a big win for those long shooting sessions.
 
I've really enjoyed using 4.0 grains of Bullseye with a 115gr FMJ. It's an old-school pairing that never disappoints. If I'm looking for something a bit softer on the recoil, I go for 3.8 grains of VV N320 with a 124gr coated bullet. It’s super smooth and burns clean, which is especially nice when I'm shooting with my compact pistols.
