Alternative favorite powders to Blue Dot?

BD is what I use in my G20 with 10.0 with 200gr
In my pistol seems max is around 10.6 or 10.7
I backed off to 10.0 to 10.2 of BD.

My normal  load is a 180gr with 10.4 of BD... it seems to be the most accurate
when I want a hotter load, I just sub a 200gr XTP ( leaving the powder drop alone )
No issues

VV N105 is my preferred powder.

Too much lot to lot variation with Blue Dot in the old days. 
You old guys will remember the term "Super Face".  Caused by Blue Dot lot-to-lot variation.
Maybe they have it fixed now, but I'll just pass.

VV stopped making N105 last summer, unfortunately.  If you find any, load up.

Since you have Unique on hand try a load of about 7.0gr with a 180gr bullet. Makes a good target load that I used to use before I changed to Ramshot Silhouette. Of course I don't know if i will be able to get more of that.

I'm not sure that is correct.  VV is still showing N-105 on their website, but oddly, under the 300 series powders, not the 100 series.

The Blue Dot is gone Longshot is gone.  I now use Power Pistol what is next? Primers for my 10MM are $112 dollars per brick.
