For cast bullets most pistol powders will be sooty. In 9mm due to it being a higher pressure round the powder will burn a little cleaner on the higher end. In .45 ACP most powders are going to be on the dirty side.

That said for cast in both I use Bull's Eye. It works for me, and what I am doing well enough I am not going to mess with changing as long as I can find it on the shelf of the gun store.
