HP-38 is the identical powder to W231. Data is the same, but HP-38 may be more available at dealers because many people use W231 and are unaware that they are the same.

As stated above, HP-38 is the same powder and usually easier to find

You can use Green Dot in pretty much the same applications as 231, and GD seems to be a very unpopular powder for some reason. So you can usually find it on the shelves when the local gunpowder store is out of just about everything else. (it's like C-cell batteries at the grocery store in the hours right before a hurricane)

Graf & Sons has one 8 lb of HP38 (same powder as W231) left for $120:
