Just got a can of unique two weeks ago at the local Gander. I also prefer unique, but have used quite a bit of Green Dot and W231 when I got good deals on them.
I've had good results using Universal, 800x, and Longshot. Others I know have had good results with Power Pistol or AA#5. Good luck and Happy Shootin'.
231 is what i shot in my 45 ACP for years....I have used Unique.....right now i'm shooting titegroup cuz i got a 4# jug for 60 bucks. Graf and Sons had Unique in stock a few days ago.....Mike
Not much out there that the 45 ACP doesn't like but for 185/200 grain, the best I've found for accuracy in my pistols is VV N310, bullseye and WW231 in that order and for 230 to 265 grain I'll stick with VV N350.
What's the difference in accuracy between N310 and 231? I really doubt there is any when the right load is found but with low powder charges, the N310 burns clean.
used to us 310 in my ppc load for the 38s. Its a great powder but can be expensive and hard to find. So much so that I switched to bullseye.

Powder Valley normally has Vihtavuori in stock but one should order with a group of fellows getting enough powder and primers to keep the cost down, as shipping and hazmat adds to the overall cost. 4#'s is $110.00 + the freight.
W231 for me also. All I have to do is re-adjust the meter on the Dillion and I can use it in .40. Only time I used anything else was some AA No.5 for some 180gr.,HP screamers I wanted to try. I believe they call them the flying ashtray. Still have some loaded. To expensive to knock some steel plates around thou. gypsyman
I like Red Dot, and use a lot of it because a friend gave me 12 pounds of it. HP38/231 is good, too, and of course Bullseye was the original .45ACP powder.
Win 231 is all I have used in 45 acp. for about the last 35 years.
