Here is some info I came up with in the process of trying to develop a practice round that simulates my carry round. When I pulled a Black Hills standard pressure round apart to see what and how much powder it used, I was surprised to see it look just like Power Pistol. After weighting the powder and comparing the chrono data to what I had used in developing loads with Power Pistol, it pretty much confirmed it was Power Pistol. Also, as seen in the pictures, the bullet used by Black Hills looks to be Hornady

Hello and thanks for taking the time to do the detailed work and photos for this informative thread.
It is appreciated.

Best.

PS: Since this concerned handloading vs a factory load, I moved it to "Caliber Discussion" rather than "Reloading" though either would do. Great post.
