.45 acp handload problem

[akshooter]

I know this is a reload question (but it IS a handgun), and asked a million times probably. I'm having difficulty shooting my reloads with Bullseye: 230gr rn jacketed, with 4.3 and 4.6 gr Bullseye. The powder is so dirty and fouling that after 40-50 rounds, it starts jamming on the feed, not closing completely.
What do you know to be a good, CLEAN powder and target load for the 230gr rn jacketed?
Thanks for your input!!!

Hi,try using 4.5 grains tite group,thats what I use in my kimber. It is real accurate and it also burns real clean. sj

I have no troubles with Winchester 231.

W231 and TiteGroup are all better choices when it comes to cleanliness and economy. Although I must admit, I have a new SA 1911A1 which digests loads with Bullseye just fine. I don't have all that much buildup at all, and it always wipes clean.

Give AA#5 a try. Works very well in my guns.

Try VihtaVuori N340 it burns real clean with cast or jacketed for me.

i haven't reloaded any 45acp yet, but with 45lc there's a lot more dirty buildup if your loads are really light. i used unique, which is supposed to be pretty dirty, and compared to store-bought ammo my starting loads were similar and my middle-of-the-road loads burned cleaner. i don't know if the different type crimp would have the same results, you should ask in the reloading forum.

"I know this is a reload question (but it IS a handgun)" Correct, it is a handgun and the other choice would be handloading for a rifle. Both of which are discussed in the Reloading forum. Let's all head over that way....
