I started loading for handguns a long time ago using the "Holy Trinity" of Bullseye, Unique and 2400, then along came WW 296 and Hodgens H-110 and they were added to the fold. Now I'm not the type who buys and tries the latest and greatest powder, happy with what works for me. Then along came Brian Pearce in Handloader magazine and upset my apple cart. In his writings on the .44 Special and .45 Colt and seeming to be enthusiastic about a new fangled powder called Power Pistol I gave it a try. Smooth metering with very good performance in standard pressure loads combined with good accuracy with my cast bullets won me over. I also use it in my 9mm cast bullet loads with good results. It is now my go to powder for the .44 Special and .45 Colt. If you would have told me this ten years ago I would have laughed out loud.

As you might surmise I do recommend Power pistol as a substitute for good old Unique.
