HI all,

Been reloading for close to 11 years now and I use Win 231 for everything but 9mm. In 9mm I use Universal Clays (uc from here on) which is the cleanest firing round I have ever loaded.

I tried UC in 45 and 40 and in both cases there is always unburnt powder and they were inconsistent in speed. Not badly inconsistent but I didn't like it.

Win 231 works great but is dirty. In 40 it is not a problem. In .45s (except for my glocks. 2 1911s and a Kahr P45) when they start getting dirty from the win 231 they will have a failure to load the first round of a new mag. The round is getting caught on the burnt powder residue.

Any idea or suggestions?

Thanks,
Dan...
