Cost has never been my reason for choosing a powder. Powder is the cheapest part of a pistol handload today. W231/HP38 along w/ BE are pretty smoky & really dirty w/ lead bullets. I like Unique, but it doesn't meter well, does give me exc accuracy w/ lead bullets. WSF is almost identical to Unique but meters better. Either 5gr of Unique or 5.1gr of WSF under a 125grLRn or LTC, OAL will vary w/ style of cast bullet, accuracy is exc. w/ either powder.
