I like w231 for medium loads as well as Green Dot that is very close
to the same fps as w231 in all my revolver and pistol test, since
Green Dot is not always listed in loading manuals, but you can get
a "Guestament" on the amount of powder to use per the amount
of w231, at least with 38 spl. loads.
