I'm wanting to use the russian powder salut in my .45ACP (200gr), .40 S&W(185gr), and 9MM(115-135gr). What loads are you using as there is little loading data for thse cals. Thanks for giving me a starting point.

Welcome to the Guide liontech.
With any surp powder, there is usually a close commercial equivalent that will give you a good idea of the starting loads. Werever you buy the powder ought to have that information. After that, you really need a chrono when you are doing load development because pressure signs are often not obvious with handgun loads.

Do not fire unless fired upon.
