I have used AA#5 and Silhouette with many different plated bullets and have just recently start loading with cast. I have a 45acp load waiting right now that has AA#5 in it.
From my experience the AA#5, Silhouette and True Blue are all very similar with much overlap. I gave up on the AA#5 as I can create the same load with the Silhouette and still use a bit less powder. Also the Silhouette is suppressed so because I shoot a lot indoors there is basically no flash and smoke is reduced greatly.
I have also started using a lot of AA#2 and as you state I find a good supply of Western Powders in this area.
