New CW380 Owner here: What powder do you recommend?

[tkarl]

My CW380 has not been to the range yet. I plan to save $$ by using reloads exclusively in this gun. I have a large amount of Red Dot powder, and load data for it. I thought Red Dot would do well the CW380's relatively short barrel as it a fast burning powder. What do you guys think?

Red dot is great, so is Hodgdon clays if you can find it. Currently, I'm using CFE Pistol and Winchester Autocomp, much slower, but still gets the job done, pushing that little bullet over 800 fps. Right now in this area Red dot and clays are rarer than unobtainum.

I'm using Power Pistol in both the .380 and 9mm. Low flash, burns clean and meters well.
