For my 45acp I use nothing but titegroup 5gr behind a plated 200gr bullet make for great plinking rounds.

As for the 75gr A-MAX this is NOT a HUNTING bullet. These are meant for punching holes in PAPER. A match bullet is not built like a hunting bullet. Will they kill an animal I sure they will but will the be reliable on critters at different ranges no. Match bullets are meant to fly true not kill things.

For 45, I've used Bullseye and Unique. Bullseye is more accurate, but just as dirty as Unique.

HP38 is a bit cleaner.

Lots of folks like Clays or Titegroup for cleaner shooting, but the velocity is way down compared to the higher performing powders.
