HP38 vs Titegroup

[fredj338]

I've seen slightly better overall accuracy with Bullseye in comparison with Titegroup loads, but Titegroup is a useful powder. I've seen nothing to indicate the alleged "heat" claims some make about Titegroup.

HP-38 / 231 is a little more versatile than Titegroup and can likely be used in more applications.

If you shoot slow fire, you wont likely see the heat issue. I have seen FO fronts go plastic on a hot day & fast 30-36rd stage, like About 30sec of constant shootng. That is some serious heated metal, slide too hot to touch with bare hands.

I bought an 8lb jug of Tightgroup several years ago. I have used about half a pound of it since. I didn't see any difference between it and Bulleye for the shooting I do other than Bullseye leaves more soot. But the big difference was how hot the guns would get after shooting several mags or cylinders.
I know many who use it and works great for them. It just isn't working for me. Maybe someday I'll find a use for it or sell/trade it.
