I load for .45 ACP extensively; everything from a 650 FPS 230gr.RNL to a screaming 1400 FPS 165gr. JHP. The powders I have settled on after trying ALL suitable powders for my loads are:

W231
Red Dot (a little dirty for my taste but accurate)
Accurate Arms #5
Accurate Arms #7 (hot load powder)
Accurate Arms #9 (heavy bullets, 230gr.+)
Power Pistol
Unique

For general target use the W231 seems to be the cleanest, and the most efficient. Since I have never loaded for .44 (.429") anything I haven't a clue if any of these are suitable.

Good luck, and be careful...
