    I haven't seen anything with Bullseye, 231 or Unique that I couldn't beat with Titegroup.

    I've used 231, Bullseye, and Unique.
    Bullseye and Unique are somewhat dirty, 231 slightly less so.
    Accuracy, economy and functioning speaks for itself.

    I started with Bullseye 30 yrs ago, and shortly thereafter went to HP-38. Tried others, but works best for me.

    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    Tightgroup came highly recomended by the local guys for shooting well despite lots of air in the cases and not being temperature sensitive to any noticable degree. But while it burns cleaner than Bullseye and W231 it's still pretty sooty stuff. Mind you it's good enough that I recently bought 4 lbs of the stuff.

    Still, if I could find a powder that burned like WinClean ammo does I'd happily pour my present stocks over the rose gardens as fertilizer and switch to the stuff that leaves the brass cleaner than freshly new....

    Bullseye, Bullseye, Bullseye. I have shot nearly everything out of my 1911 and bullseye beats EVERYTHING I have tried from an accuracy standpoint. I wipe my pistols down after every use so bullseye is not an issue. I clean when it calls for it shooting cast but always wipe the down. Nothing a little rem oil on a rag won't wipe off.
    Our house is protected by the Good Lord and a gun and you might meet them both if you show up here not welcome son!
