Alliant Powder substitutes?

I got my first notification for 2400 from Midway Thursday morning saying 8 pound bottles were in stock. I was in a conference and immediately went into purchase mode to find it was probably all sold before their email notification even went out. I've been trying to buy 2400 since the Newtown shooting ammo hoarding began and haven't seen a single granule of it for sale. I have a decent supply of Unique and only about two pounds of 2400. If Alliant powders are gonna be this hard to come by, I guess I'm ready to find some Hodgdon substitutes. It can't be that danged hard to produce enough 2400 to meet the demand. I've had no problem getting whatever Hodgdon powders I want. So anyhow, I have H110 for heavy loads but I'd like something to replace the mid loads in 44 Mag and .357...maybe 1000-1100 FPS range with accuracy that works well with jacketed and cast bullets. I've got lots of HS6 but really haven't tried it seriously in .357 or .44. I can read a loading manual but mainly looking for powders in general you guys might find useful for medium loads or in the 2400 burn rate. Thankee:)
