Been using Accurate #5 for 45acp 200 and 230 grain JHP's for a while now (fired from a Sig P220). I find it to be very clean burning. Have loaded boxes of ammunition for friends too and their first comments are how clean the ammo is, followed by how smooth it shoots. It is great powder for medium size gun barrels. Made some 44 Magnum bullets, 12.4 grains of Accurate #5 under a 240 grain Oregon Laser Cast LRFP, for plinking and targets. It works great out of my 4" 629 V-Comp. Liked them so much that I've been working on some hunting loads for this same gun, a 300 grain gas check LBT over 11.6 grains of #5. Have not had a chance to chronograph them yet, but they sure are extremely accurate.
