I use them for; 38/357, 44mag too.

That's a dig ditto for me too.

Hi:
Mostly I shoot Mdl. 94's in 32 Win. Spl. & 25-35 Win. Recently I purchased a new Rock Island Officers Mdl. in 45ACP. When I was in law enforcement years ago I reloaded 38 Spl. and used Bullseye. So, I have some knowledge of relaoding, but technology has moved on. The RIA Officers Mdl. has a 3.5" barrel. Some powders are reportedly more efficient than others in this size barrel. Any thought/help.

For .45 automatics, my favorite powder is Unique, 6.0 grs for a 230gr bullets. It's very accurate and reliable.
