Title: Clean Pistol Powder Question???
Post by: PA BEN 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?
