I noticed posters often ask which is the cleanest powder. I'm not too concerned myself but having less cleaning to would be nice.
I lucked into a four pound jug of Alliant American Select. You know the powder that's not just clean it's Ultra-clean! Says so right on the jug.
After 250 rounds of .38 Special loaded with 4.7 grains of American Select and a 125 grain X-treme plated bullet my cylinder looks like this:
I actually like the way it looks. And since I have to clean the gun anyway it doesn't really matter. And more importantly American Select makes fine shooting ammo and that's all I really care about. So you guys that want clean will have to find something better than Ultra-clean!
