I use Clays, Power Pistol, Win WST. Power pistol is good but a bit snappy. WST seems too slow.

Power Pistol or WSF for 9mm and .40. WST or W231 for .45acp.
I've tried other powders with good results but these three seem the best for me overall.

WST, W231 for 9mm and .45, W748 for .223.
All Winchester powders; didn't intend to use just one manufacturer, it just worked out that way.

Mostly HP 38 and a little longshot. This week I am going to start loading N37 in both 40sw and 9mm. HP 38 is great for medium loads. Longshot is more powerful. I got the N37 for reduced night flash.

Hey, if you have time to post you have time to open up that Brian Enos digital scale and give us a review of it!

I mostly use W231 for my 9mm reloads. Loads of load data with various bullets published for W231, and my brother has been using it for 20+ years.
Who's scale is the one Brian sells on his Web site? I doubt he manufactures that, does he?
BrianEnos.com Electronic Digital Powder Scale
I currently use the Frankford Arsenal from Midway, kind of getting some varied readings, it has mixed reviews and would like to get a better powder scale myself.
