Powder alternative to Longshot for .40

[Boriqua]

Started using longshot for 10mm and then it made it way to my .40's Love the stuff. Has the right feel even if I cant explain what that is.

Some longshot was available a couple of weeks ago but it seems to have dried up. I have enough to last a bit but would like to pick up some more powder and it got me curious

What alternatives to 40 have you used and liked? CFE? One of the euro brands?

I have used HP38 and its fine but doesnt have that 40 snap!

I have used titegroup .. still dont like that powder and have a lb of it I will likely never use unless nothing else is available.

I dont have the experience many of you do and the only powders I have EVER used is hp38, longshot and titegroup so I have no idea what is out there for use in that cartridge.

What weight? For a 165 try BE-86 or power pistol. For a 180 try power pistol or AA-7.

I have bullets in both weights. Thanks for the suggestions!

Bear Mountain in Mesa might still have some Longshot.

Autocomp is almost always available. You can run it up pretty good, but it is a tad dirty.

Win 231. Little dirty. Universal clays works too although you will get unburnt powder from time to time.

I had pretty gapped luck with Unique when I had a 40.
