For target loads, such as wadcutters & semi-wadcutters, I use W-231 or bullseye. Very accurate loads, and I don't worry about the dirt on the gun.

For competition, such as IDPA & USPSA, where cleaner loads are more important, I use Clay's. Makes an ok target load as well, but I found W-231/bullseye better for this.

I hear a lot of good things about the cleanliness of Solo1000 (at least for .38spl loads).
