I will be looking to re load for the 9mm sooner than later and have started researching powders, I have found a lot of support for Hodgdon Titegroup & Clays, does anyone know if it is on sale in the UK?

Re: Hodgdon Titegroup & Clays
I use titegroup for my 9mm Largo rounds and for my 7.62 subsonics. Clays should be available as well.
It's been a while since I bought some, but I think prices are about the £40-45 a tub.

Re: Hodgdon Titegroup & Clays
I have just been working my way through a Googgle search for UK sites that mention the above and have found a couple of hits for FB-UK and you discussing sub sonic rounds with Ovenpaa.
Your flag confuses me, are you in the UK?
Funny to see the cost, the US Forums are talking under $15 a tub - I guess it lasts a lot longer than my .308 powder.

Yes, I'm in the UK. Moray in Scotland http://www.full-bore.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1314 you'll find me near the top!
I'm just poor Sandgroper (Western Australian) in self imposed exile in the UK, hence the flag.
I like titegroup, it does what it says on the tin and a little does go a long way.
I originally bought it for the subsonics, but then moved on to pistol calibre rounds. It helps to keep the amount of different powders to a minimum.

I'd prefer Viht 3N37 or 340
Cheaper too.

Re: Hodgdon Titegroup & Clays
There is soooo much cheap 9mm ammo around at present, is it worth reloading?
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

Re: Hodgdon Titegroup & Clays
Both good points, but like I said titegroup is a dual purpose powder for me and Hodgdon provides specific loads for subsonic ammunition using titegroup.

Re: Hodgdon Titegroup & Clays
Is there? (Serious Q')
The idea of not re loading is very appealing as I do not like the thought of having to get ready for a Gallery Action Weekend.
Unfortunately I live next to the NSC and apart from one shop on camp that I rarely enter it is a bit barren round here for supplies. Both the other shops that I could name are basically in London although they have Surrey addresses, and I am loath to go into town as it is more hassle than it is worth.
Dodgyrog,
I already have 2 tubs or Viht on the shelf for my .308, I like the product but would like something that physically looks different for these rounds so that I should never lift the wrong tub by mistake.
However, do you have experience with Hodgdon Titegroup or Clays and feel that the Viht is better?

Re: Hodgdon Titegroup & Clays
It doesn't have to be a chore to reload GR ammunition. Whenever possible I just use lee dippers to measure the powder and more often than not the results are excellent.

Re: Hodgdon Titegroup & Clays
Ammozone in Hertfordshire are £19.50 per 100 but I have seen cheaper. Enquiries ongoing, I'll get back to you.Dangermouse wrote:Is there? (Serious Q')
