Looking for favorite loads for both 9mm and .45auto using HP 38. I think I already like this powder better than HS6!

I have several favorites.
In 9MM 4.4 gr With a Hardcast RNP 125 grain also 4.1 Gr with a lazer cast 115 Gr RNL and 4.4Gr with a lazercast 122Gr LFP In 38Spl 3.5 Gr with a 148Gr lazercast LWC also 3.6 Gr with a lazercast 158 Gr LSWC. And 3.5 grains with a Hardcast 148Gr WCP The Powder is vary consistant and is a clean powder. I think it is real close to W231.
