Been loading 223 a lot lately and now moving on to 9mm.
Wanted to see what powder most people prefer for 9mm 115 FMJ target rounds.
I will be using them mostly in the MP5 clone.

Re: 9mm Powder Preferance
Bullseye or Unique. Neither is the "optimum" powder for 9mm but they both work extremely well, with the added benefit of being useful for just about every handgun cartridge out there. My M11/9 runs without any hiccups using either powder, and none of my 9mm handguns ever has a problem with powder fouling or unburnt powder using these powders. Some people don't like the smell of Unique, so to them, I recommend Bullseye.
Both of these powders also have the added benefit of being extremely common to find and fairly reasonably priced. I always buy mine in 8 lb kegs, both for the bulk price savings and because I use a shit-ton of both of them in all my handguns.
