Looks like HS7 is a good one for 180 grain loads. I like Hodgdon powders.

Thoughts?? For a Glock 22...

  You have HS7?
  I haven't seen any in years.

  I'm using 4.3 grains of Titegroup under a Berry's 180 bullet in my Glock 35. It's a fairly light load for plinking and IDPA. Titegroup seems to burn pretty clean, too.

  No.... I don't load much pistol ammo, only .41 Magnum. Is HS7 gone away?

  I use Power Pistol for both 180 and 155, plated or not.
  
  Have used some Silouette as well.

  Titegroup for target loads.

  Yes, HS7 aka WW571 has been discontinued about ten years. As for 40 S&W, my son had some loaded up a while back and used the Berry 165 FMJ and Vihtavuori 3N38 and it seems to work very well.

  Longshot for 165's, AA-7 for 180's and AA-5 for 165's and down, is what I use. In a pinch I also use Clays and International Clays. International works and meters better. Clays takes very little charge for most weights.
