    One of the best powders I ever used in 357/41/44/45 is Vectan AS which I used to buy in bulk.
    You can still get it in 500gm tubs. Its a large green flake powder and about 6gns half fills a case. double load spills out the top.
    Use it with a 200gn rnfp bullet and you have a soft shooting clean burning load.
    I moved to CSB5 after the lack of bulk AS and that works well but is a dark colour so not so visible in the case when loading.
    Both of these are fast shotgun powders.
    Another excellent powder is Vectan BA10 - which was very popular in pistol days and is also brightly coloured and clean burning.
