[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1914792, member: 109862"] It is true that some powders just burn dirtier. What seems silly to me is that a powder advertised for its copper erasing properties would turn out to be sooty as all get out - kind of makes the decoppering less of a sell if you still need to clean excessive carbon all the time. I think your theory is right. More powder or a heavier Bullet would likely reduce this. This is all the more true for ball powders. Ball powders love magnum primers, full to compressed loads, and don’t as well with mismatched burn rates for the cartridge and bullet being used. [/QUOTE]
