Go Here and spend a little time reading and you will have a lot better idea of what you need.....

Look into Aliiants Power Pistol. They have data for all the rounds you listed, and then some. It usually sells for around $54.00 per 4lb jug, so it's pretty cheap, very clean as well. On someof the higher charges, you might experience some flash when you fire it though. I've loaded 40S&W, 45ACP, 38spl/357mag with it. All worked very well.

Unique is call such because it can be used to load any number of pistol cals. It will work but is not necessarily the best.

FWIW

I've loaded all of the calibers that you listed with both Power Pistol and Unique. Like the others have stated, not the best for any of them, but it will work with all of them.

+ 1 On Aliants Power Pistol, I use it on my .40, 45ACP, and 44 magnum. The ball of flash is cool, shoots fairly well its clean and not to mention it measures well... Thanks Grumpyone for putting me on this powder!
