I can think of a few different posders.

TiteGroup, and Bull's Eye will load in all of the said rounds. You can get to the sort of warm loads in the magnums with them. For the Wad cutters BE has worked for a lot of people for a whole lot of years.

Trail Boss will load all of the rounds listed, though they will not be scorchers for velocity. On the upside. It burns incredibly clean, and gives great case fill.

For the magnums I would Recomend Acurate Arms No9. You will get a wider usable loading range with it, and it can be used with cast or jacketed bullets. It will get near to H-110 velocity when loading on the hot end. I load a lot of .41 mag with it. Jacketed, and home cast lead bullets as well. It is a very clean powder.
