So is true blue (right at 6 grains) still the best all around load for velocity and accuracy?

Slowest powder in 5.7 x28 Fn pistol?

I know quickload does not work well with this round. That said some of the sims I ran with LILGUN etc gave some outstanding velocities. I know you can not safely use those powders safely in the pistol.

What powders (slowest) do you use.

Then I guess we must agree to disagree.

OK for my education I need to ask. Which loads currently (usually) on the market will defeat armor and what level?
