I use Alliant American Select for 38 Spl. and 45 ACP. It's a great sub for Bullseye. Burns clean and loads up with about the same charge. The only problem is it's a flake powder so a little harder to throw an accurate weight.

In the P-F basket of deplorables.
Another one worth trying would be Vihtavuori N310.
The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.
03RN:
In addition to Bullseye, I have used Winchester 231 and 700X and am particularly fond of 700X. I have seen 700X for sale in the $158/8 pound keg range recently, which is just under $20 per pound.

2.8-3grs of Red Dot with a 148gr HBWC is a super nice load.
You can do good work with Green Dot and .38spec as well.
@ 50 yds 231 out shot BE from a ransom rest in my 14-6. WST is supposed to an excellent choice as well. Just scored 5K Remington HBWC today. Time to load some up and try some different powders.
I’ve always used Win 231 or Hodgdon HP-38 with HBWC loads. It’s a bit dirtier than I’d really like, but it isn’t terrible either.
Honestly, I could probably load everything for every pistol I own with 231 or HP38 (they’re the exact same powder in different cans).
231 it is.
Brownells has it in stock. Thanks for all the tips guys. I don't even plan on shooting it. I'm just filling ammo cans for my kids.
I normally get my bullets from rimrock but I think I want to try coated bullets this time
