I use that powder in .40 and have tried it in .45. I don't remember the charge I used but it was listed on the Hodgin web site. I was using a 200 gr SWC lead bullet. It shot well and was cheap but a little inconsistent compared to WW231 wo I went back to 231.

I would not hesitate to use it if I had 8 lbs! It shoots great in my .40. Good luck!

The two seem to be about equal in fouling to me. I'm not a good person to ask because I am famous with my shooting buddies for not cleaning guns. I went to Universal because the 231 seemed too hot in the .40. At that time I was loading 180s for a friend and he was getting leading at major power factor velocity. When I changed to universal that stopped. It works great with the lead 205s. No leading and very light recoil, still makes major. I can say that I have to clean the .40 and .45 after about the same number of rounds.
