Which of these powders would do good double duty for cast 45acp and 38+P

[Sudsy]

The Hodgdon CFE Pistol and the Alliant Power Pistol definitely
Any of the others ??

Power pistol would probably do well. Cfe pistol might work too. Everything else looks like rifle powder

Any of those listed with a four digit number you can forget.

AL-5 will work as well. It's a pretty decent powder for .38 Spl

WW 231 aka HP-38 will work fine in both.

This is the easiest problem to solve you will likely encounter.
You could do far worse than Unique.

Cfe pistol is great stuff in 45, 38 and 380. Use it for all my full power loads in those calibers due to high velocity with a mellow recoil pulse and excellent flash suppression for those late night critter hunts. I use red dot for my plinking stuff for economy and high bulk in the case (no double charges!)

AL - 5 is Alcan #5 ... if you have some, it will work for both 45 acp and 38+P , I've used it in handguns since 1970 and the Speer Reloading Manual #8 (1970) has plenty of Alcan loading data .
I still have about 1 1/2 pounds of AL-5 that I keep on hand for powder shortages .

Never been a huge PP fan so I would go CFE.

cfe for lite bullets (125gr/38spl & 200gr 45acp)
pp for heavy bullets (160gr/38spl & 230gr 45acp)
