Titegroup substitute recommendations?

Hodgdon Titegroup is getting hard to find in my area, Central Missouri.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a substitute powder for .45 acp?
My local area shops have other propellants on the shelf but I am not sure what to look for?
I am blessed with bullets and primers since I live about 30 minutes from MidwayUSA.
Thanks!

I use WST. It's a flake powder, not spherical. Still meters well through my measure.
Haven't gotten to my Clays jug yet.

I was going to standardize on HS7 but they discontinued it. Thought about going to HS6, but decided on Power Pistol for most pistol loads. Only ones I don't use it with are full power loads in.357 & .44 mag.

for .45 and 12ga. I used Clays .... before that, WST was the choice, which I consider the modern " Unique".....

I have a pound of 231 I need to work up some rounds with but I saw a 4lb jug of clays at the club so I may go that route as well. I have been using Bullseye with good results (hit some 20 yard A's Saturday with no problem).
BTW Les I finally started watching my sights and only had 3 Mikes for the match and beat some guys I thought it'd be another year before that happened, all but 2 of the B class Limited shooters and one C Class Sandbagger.

I've been using Alliant Bullseye for 45 and it makes a nice round.

I have used universal clays as well, I have been using Accurate AA5 with alot of success, meters very well, shoots well, with
200 grain bullets in 45. Can't double charge without spilling powder.

Always used Accurate #5 for .45 ACP.
Have been thinking of trying Clays because it is easier to find in my area since the insanity started.
