Love AutoComp but have been searching (today’s limited market) for another to add to the lineup. If you have any suggestions to offer for 9mm & .40 S&W? Would like to find some Unique as it seems to be an extremely popular choice but not happening yet around here, as of late anyway. Clean burning is an important factor as I mostly shoot suppressed.
I would recommend Titegroup for .40 and 9mm. I use it for those two plus 9X18, .32 ACP, .45 ACP, and a couple more. It it the only powder (so far) that I have ever bought in larger than 1 pound cans and I have found it available on several of the well known websites and the price is not bad either for today's prices.
 
I'll make up (5) of each, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5gr. Put them in separate bags and label each one and drop by the indoor range in town here and go from there. Probably settle for the middle of the road unless a specific load stands out.
Excellent idea, it is what we call a "Ladder Test". I personally don't do them for a handgun but always for a new rifle.
