There are MANY good powders that are suitable for use in the .38 Special but my favorite .38 Special powder is W231/HP-38.

Along with W231 I have used (some for .38 Special +P only) Clays, Universal, HS-6, Longshot, 700x, Trail Boss, Red Dot, Green Dot, Unique, Power Pistol, 2400, AA#5 and Zip but I always come back to W231/HP-38...

No reason to change powders if you use a .357 Magnum case at .38 Special pressures. W231 will work just fine, I have used it with success.
