Cleanest Powder for Loading HBWC (?)

[Steve in Vermont]

I just wipe my hands on my jeans. After all ...

... you eventually gotta do laundry anyway ...

In my house the "you" who does the laundry is my wife and I want to keep it that way.

I still use the 2.8 gr. NBullseye load as it performs consistently under a wide variety of conditions. WST would provide a cleaner burn but I have not used it for any length of time. In reality one has to clean the gun after either an extended range session or match and the residue difference is inconsequential.

Clays is the cleanest powder I've found. By clean I mean complete burn, no unburned flakes, and little or no soot.
Soot doesn't bother me much, I just hate unburned powder blowing back in my face or getting in my gun.
Titegroup burns completely in .38 target loads but leaves a lot of soot.

I've found the Vihtavourhi N310/N320 series of powders to be exceptionally clean burning with target loads and cast bullets. Cases clean up for reloading with very little effort aftwerwards and minimal soot build up inside the slide.
