Good powder for both 44 Mag and 9x19?

[Kurtz]

I've found one powder, Alliant BE-86 that is good for both, anyone know of some others? I want to slim line my reloading so I can use the same powders for different calibers, as opposed to having a large cabinet full of all these different powders.

I've used (alliant?) power pistol for 9mm, not sure if it works for 44mag but i think so

I just looked it up, great choice thanks!

AA No2 and Unique come to mind. Useable in both, but what's your definition of "good". Both of those don't have a ton of versatility, but for the combos I use, they fit the bill.

The No 2 I have, it limits me to one or two loads for each caliber, and they're loads I really don't want. The two listed above have many more options.

AA No. 7 can be used in both. AA No. 9 gave me better results in the .44 Mag and I think it is too slow for the 9mm.

My vote is for Power Pistol.

Blue Dot isn't top powder but definitely works in both.

CFE Pistol has ample data for both over a wide range of bullet weights. Never used it yet myself.

My vote is for Power Pistol.

+1 I've shot some .44 mag with Power Pistol.
