Last time I loaded 255grn lead, with Winchester 296. These were hot loads but they shot real good except for being dirty. There was alot of fire and smoke, and the cases were quite dirty when I ejected them.

I will use this load for hunting and target shooting. I noticed that the .454Casull ammuntion from Cor-bon was no where near as fiery or smokey as the 296. Is there a powder that burns cleaner that would simulate the cor-bon loads?

Thanks,
DaHaMac
