What is the best powder for 45 ACP

[Oily_Guy]

I'm just getting started reloading. What is the "best" powder for 45 ACP with 230 grain bullets?

not trying to be a smart ar$$, but get a reloading manual, maybe two. it will tell you what powders will do what with whatever grain bullet. it might even say which powders performed best in there test data. Sorry if i wasent helpful, the experts will chime in soon.

Not an "expert" either by any means but HP38 works great for my needs

I haven't tried a lot of different ones, but TightGroup works for me.

I have a small amount of Winchester 231, but was thinking about buying more powder and was wanting other's opinions on what worked well for them before I spent the money. Thanks.

HP38 = win231 and is cheaper. Same exact load data.

Thank you Nimaro
