For those three loads, W231 is plenty good. The magnum will prefer the 2400, though.

Power Pistol works fairly well in all three,in 38 special you can load it to 38+P velocity with cast 158 gr. SWC bullets and mid range 357 loads at 1200+ fps. out of a 4" barrel with same bullet and it really shines in the 9mm.

No mention of Trail Boss, great low pressure, high volume, clean burning and accurate powder.Will work in any cartridge you care to load with either jacketed or lead bullets.I think this is the best powder a new reloader could use.It also meters very good considering it's shape,wonderful powder for reduced rifle loads.
Check out IMR's web site on Trail Boss, it does only come in 9 oz containers but will load the same as 1lb of conventional powders. |

Those three cartridges could be well served by 231 or Universal but I seldom load .357 and wouldn't push it very hard if I did. I feel they are three very different cartridges and would use three different powders if trying to get the optimum performance from each.
Unique will always be a sentimental favorite for me but I don't have a can on the shelf today, haven't for years. Universal indeed does everything Unique can do, only better.
