Clean Pistol Powder Question???
« on: March 27, 2010, 09:18:37 AM »
I'm reloading for 45 ACP. I'm using Win. 231. My gun is black as hell from shooting. Is this just normal? I also have Unique but haven't tried it yet. I've heard some powders are cleaner then others. What you say?

I have always used Bullseye, not the cleanest, not the dirtiest burning powder, but the load is very good, for cast SWC.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

 :) I also use a lot of Bullseye for lite loads. I find it pretty dirty.  Mothers Mag Wheel cleaner takes that black off real easy on stainless guns. makes them look brand new.

it is pretty normal, allot of fowling is not uncommon. try the unique is a great powder and i bet it should be a little cleaner as well.
