Universal powder looks a little scarce right now. May have to try someting else. I have enough until summer but may try Unique or Trail Boss. IMR Red and Target show in the Hogdon list too.

Australian Munitions published a table of powder equivalents that may be useful, including these that they suggest are equivalent:
ADI
AP70N; Hodgdon
Universal; Alliant
Unique; IMR
SR 7625; Accurate Arms
AA 5; Vihtavuori
N330.

You might want to go with Unique. It really favors straight wall PC reloading and meters fairly well.
I hear a lot about Trail Boss but its pretty 'fluffy' and won't meter as well as Unique AND its sold in 9 Oz containers for about the same as Unique in pound size.
Unique is a good Ol' standard powder with a lot of versatility - probably why it's still around since 1898!

Trail Boss favors cast lead, and prolly round sonic speed tops in most.
