Titegroup vs ??? for 38 special?

[AJ]

Never used TG but use a similar powder for 38 spl and 45 acp. Alliant American Select, Bullseye and Titegroup all are about the same fast burn rate. AS is clean burning but not typically available these days..

Have a Relative Burn Rate Chart. Older, but probably applicable to most of the powers mentioned.

#9 Bullseye
#10 Titegroup
#11 American Select

Titegroup is the only powder I use for 38 Special. It produces excellent accuracy for target loads. Using Zero 148gr WCHB wadcutters, my model 14 would shoot excellent scores consistently. My personal best in a Harry Reeves bullseye match was a 284 which was greatly helped by the 96-4x that I shot in the 50 yd. slow fire portion of the match. I have never experienced any issues with my cylinder "overheating" due the supposed claim that Titegroup burns hot. It is also a superior powder for 9mm target loads. I have a CZ Shadow 2 that prints 5/8" groups at 25 yds off a rest using Precision Delta 124 gr. JHP's and Titegroup. This powder is relatively inexpensive and flat out works. I love it!
