I don't like them, with that said I make an exception for W231 for my 1911 A1. I have several double base powders I've (tried ) over the years, excessive fouling really turned me off. I use only stick powders now I.E H4895 & IMR4895, IMR4064, IMR and Hodgdon 4831 and IMR7828 for the various calibers I load for. I do have two unopened canisters of RL 15, the down side I have several partial canisters of 748, 760 and a nearly full canister of RL 15 which I will likely sprinkle on my lawn... William
