All powders I've used burn most completely (cleanest) at higher pressures. I choose a powder based on the velocity I want and reloading safety. Sorry to say, but TiteGroup is super-dense, soot colored, and hides in the case so well that it is too easy to miss a double-charge - so I don't use it. In 45acp, for low to mid-range velocities, I use Hodgdon Clays because it is easy to keep an eye on. For high-velocity 45acp I use AA#5, and Silhouette - both easy to spot in the case, and both burn cleanest at the higher end of their load range. Universal Clays is easier to see than TiteGroup and therefore safer in my thinking. TiteGroup is a good powder with a wide load range, but it is racking up a number of kills with double-charges. And TG seems to melt bullet bases more than other powders and that vaporized lead is gonna go somewhere.
