HP38 & Win 231 are exactly the same powder per the distributer Hodgdon. Load data would be interchangeable. I found that light loads of the powder didn't seem to burn as cleanly as medium to full charges.
I've been using HP38 for my 9mm and .45 load but not WW231 yet, though I do have 4 lbs. in standby. Even though Hodgdon do list the powder weights as interchangeable, I'm not sure that the density nor volume is. As I've not tried it yet, I can't say for sure but will definitely be weighting the WW231 compared to HP38 ,given the same volume (a.k.a. powder measure throw), to but sure.
