At that time I moved to Accurate Arms powders and haven't looked back, they're clean meter well and work with almost ever pistol I own. Their #2 is almost as fast as Bullseye but I prefer #5 for its versatility it can be used in 9mm, 38 Spl, light .357, .40S&W .44 Spl and .45 ACP. When I move up to heaver loads I skip over #7 and use #9 for Heavy .357 and .44 Mag.
I recently tried #9 on 44 mags. Very clean! And a straight push back!
I will have to try #5 then. I didn't really realize this may be cleaner alternative. Thank you.
I really have to find a cleaner burn.
