Shooters World D036 Ultimate Pistol
This is a middle spectrum burning powder for use in 9MM.  Perhaps a bit too fast to use in 9 MM Major, and way too slow to use for plinking or "Minor" competitions.  You can, however, make high performance ammunition with it.

D036-07 or Ultimate Pistol, is one of the cleanest 9MM powders we have tested.  Its not as clean as AA#7 or Major Pistol, but its close.

A fine flattened spherical powder.  A lot can fit into a case.  More than you will ever need.   Unique looking color and look to the powder.  Easy to distinguish what it is quickly.
This powder meters well above average, it doesn't look very similar to other powders, so its not easy to mix up, and its inexpensive and available.  Those are all good.  It does nothing "the best" that we can see, its middle of the road in burn rate in 9 MM.  Perhaps a competitor to like N330 or Unique or something like this that is not a fast powder, but not slow either.  Overall, it came out below average accuracy, but thats not saying much, since its just as accurate as many, many premium commercial loads.  So no real complaints.  It also burns significantly cleaner than average when compared to "all" 9 MM powders.
Lets take a look at some of the brass...

That bottom middle load of Lehigh 75 grain Xtreme Fracturing looks pretty, really good.  1665 FPS?  Anyone want to bet if that penetrates IIIa body armor?  Why not test it?  Go to bullets page to see results.
This was a mixed bag of results, most loads were average, while some were good accuracy.
All these shots are taken from a very solid rest @ 5 yards using a match barrel and a Venom 3 MOA red dot that was within ~.1 or so inch of the same exact position on each shot.  The gun is leveled and not canted.  We think this powder is more picky as to its desired load level in this match gun.

Here are some of the loads we tried with this powder..

Comes in as medium-low flash.  Pretty good.  But if you want the best, go to bot row and get Shooters World Clean Shot. Wow is that one low flash.
