Another option...

Look into Promo powder from Alliant. It's described as 'Red Dot but without the dots'. It only comes in 8lb jugs and is a considerable savings over Red Dot. Weight for weight is supposed to be the same as red dot. I loaded some test rounds in .45acp and .40 S&W and velocities ran 8-10% higher than equal weight of Red Dot. It's what I'm using now in 9, .40, and .45 acp. My 9mm loads are with 147's for subsonic shooting through my can.
Hope this helps,
Doug K
