I've used Unique in .45ACP & .45 Colt, and have not found it to be particularly "clean," but neither is it the dirtiest powder I've used. However, I like the loads.
I have also used VV N350 with 230 gr. bullets in .45ACP, and found it to be a very clean load. N350 is the only powder I've found which will allow one to load 230 gr bullets to an 850fps velocity and still stay within pressure limits. I like this because that duplicates the Federal 230 gr. Hydra-Shok load.
My standard load for practice and competition is a 200 gr Rainier truncated cone bullet using WW231 at 900fps. Seems to be fairly clean.
