Promo with the lighter loadings and Unique with the heavier stuff.
Not to be telling you what to do, but wouldnt a WLP (large pistol) primer be much less apt to fall out of your loaded round??????
I've also been tinkering around with some AA #2 Improved powder that I got for free. Looks like it holds some promise--pretty clean burning and fairly accurate in my guns.

The 45 Auto takes large pistol primers. Get CCI 300 or WLP primers.
AA#5 was designed for the 45 Auto. Smooth metering. HS6 and Unique are great too.

I currently only serve local customers and do not ship ammunition. Thanks for understanding.
Another vote for AA#5.
It works great for most medium load pistol rounds.
Its pretty much all I ever use anymore.
and yes, you need WLP, not WSP primers.

I used to use unique but went to clays, cleaner burning no powder flash.

I like Titegroup - its cheap, meters well, and a little goes a long ways. You'll not want to use small primers when loading for .45 ACP

Ditto for Titegroup. It works well for me in 45ACP and 38SPL.

I'm still using Bullseye for light target loads and Unique for otherwise. Very happy to do so as well.

I am another Bullseye guy! There might be better out there, but Bullseye has never given me a reason to look.

Been happy with good ol' 231 for my light to medium loads with WLP primers.

I use both W231 and Clays. Happy with either.

Boy I'm getting old. Most of the powders I'm using are 25 to 30 years old except for Varget. I still load Unique for the .45 ACP but never heard of Tight group, Clays and AA#5.
