You Tried Alliant Bullseye. Bullseye burns very cleanly in my Glocks at recommend charges with Jacket or plated bullets. Some people like to say Bullseye is dirty - invariablely they are using cast bullets and light loads. This causes incomplete combustion in ANY powder. Want dirty? Try Blue Dot in cast bullet handgun loads. Same reason: incomplete combustion at the low pressure range. Blue Dot is intended for HEAVY shotshell loads with 650 grains of lead shot in a 26" barrel.
I won't shoot bare lead bullets. The smoke is toxic, and revolvers spray it all over your hands out of the gap between the cylinder and barrel. I use plated bullets and prefer heavy ones. Bullseye burns very cleanly with these. Personally, I would not call Bullseye a dirty powder, because the factors causing incomplete combustion are not related to powder formulation. Rather, it is caused by bullet and load choice, which can make any powder seem dirty.
