I certainly DO NOT have a favorite powder, even for particular cartridges. Every handgun is different, even specimens of the same make/model. Here is an internet article I have written on the subject: Handloading Tips: Part 4 (Powders)

I haven't tried recently, but I believe that a double charge of SR 4756 will overflow the case. I use SR 4756 quite a bit for medium .357 Magnum loads. It is also one of my favorites for 9mm, because even a compressed charge is well within the margin of safety.

In my experience, Bullseye will work in 9mm, but slower powders like Unique, IMR SR 4756, and True Blue do a better job of delivering factory velocities at reasonable pressure.

CCI primers are just a hair bigger, and Speer brass has a slightly larger primer pocket to match. I only use CCI primers on Speer cases or older cases that have loose pockets. That said, I've never had any trouble with them in other cases, except S&B.
