I don't usually give out load data but.......
with a 124 FMJ "Ball" type bullet set at a long 1.12" OAL
I have used 5.1 grains of w231 in a +P 3" pistol for 1044fps
and with the 124 gr Gold Dot this charge gave me 1068fps
with a 1.12" OAL.
With the Gold Dot, Unique gave me 1140fps and Blue Dot 1229fps, just to give you some added loading info.
Out of a 5" pistol these slow powders really add high numbers over faster w231 powder.
W231 does well against Bullseye, Green Dot and CFE pistol in matching fps and pressures in my loads.
Just depends on what pistol I am shooting and the fps loads that I am shooting to see a slight difference in accuracy, if any, for my target loads.
With a 9mm, if it goes "Bang" , it is usually close to where you aimed.
Tight groups.
